| Research Abstract |
The original aim of this project was to utilize liquid-air interfaces as a platform to construct DNA origami into diverse 2D assemblies. However, during this study we discovered an unexpected but interesting assembly behavior of nanosheets, which became our new focus. In 2012, we developed a novel strategy for directing the assembly of nanosheets through interfacial complexation with oppositely charged polyelectrolytes. Using this method, we demonstrated the assembly of nanosheets into various macrostructures such as films, fibers, and capsules.
In 2013, we further found that the diffusion of polyelectrolyte could drive continuous growth of the nanosheet complex into 3D porous foam-like frameworks which porosity could be easily adjusted. From such discovery, we proposed a new assembly technique, namely "diffusion driven layer-by-layer assembly", and showed how it can be used for creating diverse nanosheet architectures with good control in shape and properties.
