Abstract
Barriers including molecules covalently bonded to amphiphilic molecules, and methods of making the same, are provided herein. In some examples, a barrier between first and second fluids includes one or more layers comprising a plurality of amphiphilic molecules; and a first layer comprising a plurality of molecules covalently bonded to amphiphilic molecules of the plurality of amphiphilic molecules.
Claims24
A barrier between first and second fluids, the barrier comprising:
- one or more layers comprising a plurality of amphiphilic molecules;
- and
- a first layer comprising a plurality of molecules covalently bonded to amphiphilic molecules of the plurality of amphiphilic molecules.
A barrier between first and second fluids, the barrier comprising:
- a first layer comprising a first plurality of amphiphilic molecules, wherein the amphiphilic molecules of the first plurality of amphiphilic molecules comprise first reactive moieties.
22-38. (canceled)
A method of forming a barrier between first and second fluids, the method comprising:
- forming one or more layers comprising a plurality of amphiphilic molecules, wherein the amphiphilic molecules comprise first reactive moieties;
- and
- using the first reactive moieties to covalently bond a first plurality of molecules to amphiphilic molecules of the plurality of amphiphilic molecules.
