This project aims to develop a platform strategy to fabricate self-gating nanochannels that undergo autonomous opening-closing changes without any on-off switching of external stimuli. These nanochannels mimic the unique structures and smart functions of biological protein channels, and thus are expected to improve smart membrane separation, energy conversion, biosensing, and nanofluidic devices. This research could improve biomimetic design of nanochannels and directly benefit the Australian manufacturing industry.

本项目旨在开发一种平台策略来制造自门控纳米通道，该通道经历自动开闭变化，而不需要任何外部刺激的开关。这些纳米通道模仿了生物蛋白质通道的独特结构和智能功能，因此有望改进智能膜分离、能量转换、生物传感和纳米流体设备。这项研究可以改进纳米通道的仿生设计，并直接惠及澳大利亚制造业。
