Journal ArticleDOI
Virus-Enabled Synthesis and Assembly of Nanowires for Lithium Ion Battery Electrodes
Ki Tae Nam,Dong Wan Kim,Pil J. Yoo,Chung Yi Chiang,Nonglak Meethong,Paula T. Hammond,Yet-Ming Chiang,Angela M. Belcher +7 more
TL;DR: Combining virus-templated synthesis at the peptide level and methods for controlling two-dimensional assembly of viruses on polyelectrolyte multilayers provides a systematic platform for integrating these nanomaterials to form thin, flexible lithium ion batteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selection of peptides with semiconductor binding specificity for directed nanocrystal assembly
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used combinatorial phage display libraries to evolve peptides that bind to a range of semiconductor surfaces with high specificity, depending on the crystallographic orientation and composition of the structurally similar materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mechanistic origin of the toughness of natural adhesives, fibres and composites
Bettye L. Smith,Tilman E. Schäffer,Mario B. Viani,James B. Thompson,Neil A. Frederick,Johannes H. Kindt,Angela M. Belcher,Galen D. Stucky,Daniel E. Morse,Paul K. Hansma +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the atomic force microscope to stretch the organic molecules exposed on the surface of freshly cleaved nacre and found that the elongation events occur for forces of a few hundred piconewtons, which are smaller than the forces of over a nanonewton required to break the polymer backbone in the threads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of crystal phase switching and orientation by soluble mollusc-shell proteins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that soluble polyanionic proteins alone are sufficient to control the crystal phase of calcite and calcite without the need for deposition of an intervening protein sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordering of Quantum Dots Using Genetically Engineered Viruses
TL;DR: A liquid crystal system was used for the fabrication of a highly ordered composite material from genetically engineered M13 bacteriophage and zinc sulfide nanocrystals, which spontaneously evolved a self-supporting hybrid film material.
