Novel platform biotechnology for the production of natural next generation 3D nanomaterials and nanodevices

将化学基团和功能肽排列在工程化的、安全的（非感染性的）病毒样纳米颗粒（VNPs）的表面上，允许形成仿生多功能和高反应性的纳米级结构。该项目旨在开发下一代功能性3D纳米材料，我们通过将这种多功能VNPs结合到具有优异机械特性的低成本纳米纤维素基质中，从而允许生产创新的功能性和催化性纳米反应器，涂层，过滤器和其他设备。

Arraying of chemical groups and functional peptides on the surface of engineered, safe (non-infectious) virus-like nanoparticles (VNPs), permits the formation of biomimetic multifunctional and highly reactive nanoscale structures. This project seeks to develop the next generation functional 3D nanomaterials we via the incorporation of such multifunctional VNPs into a low cost nanocellulose matrix which has excellent mechanical characteristics, thus allowing production of innovative functional and catalytic nanoreactors, coatings, filters and other devices
