Abstract
Methods and compositions are described for organizing nanoparticles or microparticles into nanostructures or microstructures using collagen as a template.
Claims30
A method of organizing nanoparticles into a nanostructure, comprising:
- contacting a collagen template with a still solution comprising (i) collagen monomers in liquid crystalline phase and (ii) nanoparticles;
- and
- assembling the collagen monomers into an ordered collagen structure by neutralizing the solution in contact with the collagen template, the ordered collagen structure directing the organization of the nanoparticles into a nanostructure.
