Coated biperiodic metallic mesh arrays with molecular monolayers and lipid bilayers thereon

摘要

A coated metallic mesh having a molecular layer thereon comprising: (1) a metallic mesh comprising at least one aperture; (2) a coating disposed on the metallic mesh that at least partially fills at least one aperture so as to form a partially-filled aperture; and (3) a molecular layer comprising at least one molecule having a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region, wherein the hydrophilic region at least partially extends into the partially-filled aperture. Also, provided are coated metallic meshes having bilayers and a method of providing a molecular layer to a coated mesh.
