Abstract
Nature offers us an enormous amount of ready-to-use templates with various morphologies and functionalities, which can be successfully utilized in fabrication of biosensors, tissue engineering, and microelectronics. The directed combination of such natural templates with graphene or carbon nanotubes results in the development of a novel material which uses the features of both. We produced hybrid materials by giving to microorganisms the nutrient to grow together with graphene nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes. Such hybrid materials can be considered as bionic because they have the benefits of both biological world which can self-organize and that of non-living materials, which couple functions such as self-healing and electronic transport.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
