Bio-inspired active nano-membranes

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Two-dimensional molecular self-assembly offers unprecedented possibilities for creating ultrathin (<10 nm) membranes with controllable structural, mechanical and chemical properties. This project aims at creating bio-inspired active nano-membranes able to sense mechanical stress and fully characterise the systems sensing capabilities so as to inform, among other, industrial biotechnology practices. The emphasis will be placed on understanding the interplay between composition, molecular structure, sensitivity and sensing dynamics.
