Nanobubbles (NBs), with their unique physicochemical properties and promising applications, have become an important research topic. Generation of monodispersed bulk NBs specified gas content remains a challenge. We developed simple method for generating NBs, using porous alumina films ordered straight nanoscaled holes. Different techniques, such as nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), atomic force microscopy (AFM), infrared absorption spectroscopy (IRAS), are used to confirm NB formation....
Because of their unique structures and properties, self-assembled bilayer lipid membranes are a subject intense interest. In this Highlight Review, we summarize recent progress made in research related to membranes, including the formation stable free-standing applications artificial bilayers as model cell membrane study biological processes, new bio-hybrid devices based on membranes.
We report on a novel lipid bilayer system, in which lateral bias can be applied addition to conventional transmembrane voltage. Freestanding membranes (BLMs) doped with [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were formed microaperture, around metal electrodes deposited. Using this it was possible modulate and amplify photoinduced currents by applying along the BLM. The results indicate that microfabricated Si chip embedded is promising platform for formation of transistor-like...
Bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) are used as basic frameworks for biosensors and biohybrid devices due to their unique properties, which include ultrathin thickness, ultrahigh resistivity, self-assembling ability. However, BLMs can only form maintain structure in aqueous environments, pose significant limitations use. In this work, we report on the formation of highly uniform hybrid at a water/air interface through self-assembly by simply doping with functional organic molecule, copper(II)...
Biohybrid membranes, combining a self-assembled lipid bilayer structure with functional nanomaterials/molecules, are promising candidates for ionic, optical, and electronic applications. However, information concerning the basic properties of these types ultrathin hybrid membranes remains limited, primarily due to their low structural strength stability in air. In this work, we report on successful formation large-area composed phthalocyanine molecules. The optical properties, mainly light...
Because of their unique properties, including an ultrathin thickness (3-4 nm), ultrahigh resistivity, fluidity and self-assembly ability, lipid bilayers can be readily functionalized have been used in various applications such as bio-sensors bio-devices. In this study, we introduced a planar organic molecule: copper (II) 2,9,16,23-tetra-tert-butyl-29H,31H-phthalocyanine (CuPc) to dope membranes. The CuPc/lipid hybrid membrane forms at the water/air interface by self-assembly. membrane,...
In this work, we propose lateral voltage as a new input for use in artificial lipid bilayer systems addition to the commonly used transmembrane voltage. To apply membranes, fabricated electrode-equipped silicon and Teflon chips. The Si chips could be photodetector devices based on fullerene-doped bilayers, were study of ion channel functions bilayer. findings indicate that effectively regulates current, both ion-channel-incorporated fullerene-incorporated systems, suggesting is practicable...
As the base structure of cell membrane, lipid bilayer membrane has been attracting much attention as a platform to study biological properties membrane. However, artificial system normally suffered from low stability and protein–incorporation efficiency. We tackled these problems by using microfabricated silicon chip support free–standing bilayer, applying centrifugal force facilitate incorporation proteins. By combining with cell–free synthesized ion channel, we proposed new screening which...
