Controlled synthesis and ordered assembly of Co 3 O 4 nanowires using genetically engineered bacterial flagella as biotemplates (Final Technical Report)
The major goals of the project are to gain a fundamental understanding on the influence of the displayed peptides and other processing parameters on the flagella assembly and the resulting biomimetic control over the synthesis and assembly of Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs). To pursue these goals, we designed two specific aims: Aim 1: Understanding the self-assembly of genetically engineered flagella and its outcome for site-specific nucleation and growth of Co 3 O 4 NPs and NWs. Aim 2: Understanding controllable alignment of 1D Co 3 O 4 -flagella NWs into highly ordered 2D and 3D structures.
