Biological Synthesis & Assembly of Macromolecular Materials (IRG I) @ California Institute of Technology
Research Fields: | Biomolecular / Biomimetic Materials | Coatings / Ceramics |
Work in the area of Biological Synthesis and Assembly of Macromolecular Materials (Interdisciplinary Research Group I) explores the powerful control of self-organization that can be achieved in polymers of absolutely defined comonomer sequence — genetically engineered artificial proteins—and the control of spatial arrangement and size that can be templated using surfactant nanostructures.
