Uses of Self-assembled peptide structures doped with electroluminescent compounds

摘要

A wide range of supramolecular nanostructures can be obtained by diverse materials. Capabilities inherent of supramolecular systems are used in attempt to promote controlled self-assembly processes by controlling characteristics of the environment in which they are produced. The interest on doping these structures with a variety of additives lies in the possibility of incrementing their already surprising properties. This work aims to produce distinct Phe-Phe self-assembled structures combined to electroluminescent compounds, in order to obtain new charge transfer complexes for applications such as sensors and solar cells. Produced materials are characterized by steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, Electronic scanning microscopy and computational calculations.
