Merging Biological Self‐Assembly with Synthetic Chemical Tailoring: The Potential for 3‐D Genetically Engineered Micro/Nano‐Devices (3‐D GEMS)

Abstract: Appreciable global efforts are underway to develop processes for fabricating three‐dimensional (3‐D) nanostructured assemblies for advanced devices. Widespread commercialization of such devices will require: (i) precise 3‐D fabrication of chemically tailored structures on a fine scale and (ii) mass production of such structures on a large scale. These often‐conflicting demands can be addressed with a revolutionary new paradigm that couples biological self‐assembly with synthetic chemistry: Bioclastic and Shape… Show more

“…For example, metal oxides were produced through methods involving gas/solid displacement reactions, [145,146,275] wet chemical processes, [279,147] or ALD. [143] Sandhage et al developed shape-preserving, gas/silica displacement reactions to convert diatom frustules into various metal oxides.…”

“…By using diatoms as templates, a number of materials with a potential for gas sensing application, particularly metal oxides and metals with hierarchical porous structures, have been obtained. For example, metal oxides were produced through methods involving gas/solid displacement reactions, [145,146,275] wet chemical processes, [279,147] or ALD. [143] Sandhage et al developed shape-preserving, gas/silica displacement reactions to convert diatom frustules into various metal oxides.…”

“…Diatoms make nanostructured silica in a variety of shapes that cannot be achieved by current synthetic materials approaches. Silica has limited properties as a material but several approaches have been developed by which diatom silica can either be directly converted or used as a template to generate a completely different chemistry while maintaining the nanoscale structure [174].…”

“…Diatomaceous earth is an abundant, inexpensive material and extensively used in sound and heat insulation, abrasives, filters, absorbents and explosives [8]. One potential engineering application is the templates or scaffolds for the processing of three-dimensional complex micro-scale polymeric, metallic and ceramic structures [7,[9][10][11]. The other potential applications include gas-selective metal film membranes, pin-point drug delivery (magnetized frustules) and processing nano-powder silica (high-energy ball milling, ultrasonic waves and electrical and thermal shock) [12].…”
