Peptide-templated biomineralization of titanium dioxide toward improved light absorption and photodegradation activity

Abstract

The mineralization of TiO2 has been previously investigated by controlling the morphology and crystal phase of TiO2 using several organic templates, but the relationship between the molecular structure of the...

Formation mechanism of anisotropic gelatin hydrogel by self-assembly on oriented templates

“…We defined a template with a uniaxially oriented surface as the oriented template, while the non-oriented template was defined as a template with non-oriented surface in these studies. While structural control of inorganic materials during biomineralization has been reported in numerous studies, [15][16][17][18][19][20] the structural control of organic polymers inspired by biomineralization has not been previously reported. Therefore, the development of a universal structure control technology for organic polymers, inspired by the principle of structure control for inorganic materials in biomineralization, is a promising prospect.…”
