Self-assembly, bioinspired

Given the significant recent developments in the burgeoning areas of porous materials and self-assembly, we anticipate that, with further development, bioinspired porous hybrid materials will find their way into a range of therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Harnessing bioinspired phenomena such as molecular recognition and self-assembly, a new approach termed Non-Covalent Derivatization was developed. The properties of hydroquinone were successfully altered by incorporating the hydroquinone molecules in a matrix with compatible alkylterephthalamide molecules. This was achieved via one-step solventless... 

Several sessions were included in scientific program. The session Bio-inspired Polymers included 11 oral presentations. Self-assembly of an aquaporin mimic, tailoring surface properties with polymer brushes, bioinspired block copolymers, hierarchically structured conjugated polymers via supramolecular self-assembly, natural polymeric composites with mechanical function, macromolecular oxidation catalysts based on miniemulsion polymerization and some other problems were discussed on this session.
