Chemical Sciences: Transient Nanopatterns by Biocatalytic Self-Assembly
Abstract
It was the overall aim of this research program to develop transient nanoscale patterns that change their chemical information content and functionality over time with nanoscale resolution. To achieve this, we combined pioneering work from Riedo's Lab (thermochemical nanolithography-TCNL), and Ulijn's Lab (biocatalytic elf-assembly). A major goal was to provide fundamental understanding and take concrete steps towards laboratory-based mimicry of fabrication approaches used by living systems. We achieved this by exploiting similar mechanisms used by living systems (catalytic amplification, self-assembly, structural confinement) but harness them as new tools for nanoscale fabrication, in non-biological contexts.
