beta-1,3-Glucan(Schizophyllan)Can Act as a One-Dimensional Host for Creation of Novel Poly(aniline)Nanofiber Structures

摘要

We here demonstrate the creation of novel poly(aniline)(PANI)nanofiber structures by a polymer wrapping method using schizophyllan(SPG).Mannose-modified SPG can also wrap PANIs to give nanofibers having a lectin affinity.This interaction is applicable to designing novel PANI/protein composites.The results establish that SPG can act as a novel "host" to assemble PANIs into one-dimensional superstructures.
