Claims22
A method of fabricating a nanostructure array, the method comprising dispensing on a substrate a plurality of peptide monomers dissolved in an organic volatile solvent, and evaporating said solvent while generating conditions for self assembling of said peptide monomers such as to form a plurality of peptide nanostructures arranged generally perpendicularly on said substrate, each of said peptide nanostructures being comprised of a plurality of peptides, wherein each of said peptides is a dipeptide comprising at least one aromatic amino acid residue.
A method of fabricating a nanostructure array, comprising:
- incubating organic monomers and nanoparticles being responsive to a force field under conditions for self assembling of said organic monomers to elongated organic nanostructures and self coating of said elongated organic nanostructures by said nanoparticles;
- and
- applying a force field to said elongated organic nanostructures such as to align said elongated organic nanostructures generally parallel to each other.
