Biologically Synthesized Proteins that Spontaneously Self-Assemble into Nano-scale structures
Researchers from Duke University have developed biologically synthesized proteins that can form nano-scale structures of various sizes, shapes, and behaviors. These proteins, called elastin-like polypeptide block copolymers, spontaneously self-assemble into different structures based on their interactions with other proteins and water. By changing their sequence, the researchers can control the shape and behavior of the structures that they form.

A New Liquid-Based Technology for Scalable Fabrication of Polymer Nanofibers
NSF support has enabled the team to introduce a novel method for formation of a broad range of polymer nanofibers and nanomaterials. The patented technique, illustrated in the Figure (left), is based on shearing of polymer solution inside viscous medium. It is extremely simple, efficient and readily scalable and can be applied to the fabrication of nanofibers from most types of commercial and special use polymers.  The team has scaled up the process to a continuous production of polymer nanofibers at rates of kgs/hour
