Nanotubule Membranes - Fundamentals and Applications in Electrochemical Energy and Stochastic Sensing.

摘要

The objectives are: (1) To develop the measurement technology that will allow us to determine if the a-hemolysin channel has been successfully immobilized, (2) To develop ultrathin film channel immobilization technology, and (3) To develop methods for isolating a single nanotubule in an Au nanotubule membrane For the Electrochemistry Division the objectives are (1) To develop new classes of nanotubule membranes whose transport properties can be modulated electrochemically by applying a potential to the membrane, (2) To show that surface chemistry of these nanotubule membranes can varied by simple chemical and electrochemical derivatization schemes, (3) To study electroosmotic flow phenomena in these new membranes.
