Synthetic Polypeptides as Scaffolds for Supramolecular Assembly of Conducting Polymer Nanocomposites

• The development of nanoelectronics has resulted in enormous advancements in fabrication techniques that have enabled massproduction of CMOS circuits with feature sizes below 45nm. There is a large interest in new methods to further push the size limits, lower the production costs and to facilitate the design of more advanced three-dimensional structures beyond today’s 2.5 dimensional architectures. Self-assembly is probably the most important scheme in this development and is currently applied to many different areas and classes of nanoelectronics. Self-assembly enables fabrication of structures well below 10 nm in feature size and allows for incorporation of novel nanomaterials, such as metallic and semiconducting nanoparticles with many interesting optical and electrical properties. The controlled self-assembly of electro-active nanocomposites is of great interest for the development of novel functional materials including biosensors, electrochromic/plasmonic hybrid devices, and polymer/nanoparticle-based memories.
