Self-Assembly and Cross-Linking of Bionanoparticles at Liquid-Liquid Interfaces

Bionanoparticles, such as the cowpea mosaic virus, can stabilize oil droplets in aqueous solutions by self‐assembly at liquid interfaces. Subsequent cross‐linking of the bionanoparticles transforms the assemblies into robust membranes that have covalent inter‐bionanoparticle connections. The resulti...

Description
Summary:Bionanoparticles, such as the cowpea mosaic virus, can stabilize oil droplets in aqueous solutions by self‐assembly at liquid interfaces. Subsequent cross‐linking of the bionanoparticles transforms the assemblies into robust membranes that have covalent inter‐bionanoparticle connections. The resulting membranes are nanoscopically thin sheets (see SANS image (SANS=small‐angle neutron scattering)), which were examined by fluorescent labeling.
