Abstract

Spontaneous formation of a two-dimensional monolayer structure of viruses on cohesive polyelectrolye multilayer was analyzed. The steric constraints inherent to the competitive charge binding between M13 viruses and two oppositely charged weak polyelectrolytes lead to interdiffusion and the virtual floating of viruses to the surface. The virus was coded to grow and assemble specific inorganic materials to form an ordered array of self assembling nanowires. Results show that the use of the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique enables the creation of ultrathin functional films and highly tunable surfaces through the control of electrostatic interactions.
