Emory University | Jan. 6, 2021 Chemists have developed a nanomaterial that they can trigger to shape shift from flat sheets to tubes and back to sheets again in a controllable fashion. The Journal of the American Chemical Society published a description of the nanomaterial, which was developed at Emory University and holds potential for a range of biomedical applications, from controlled-release drug delivery to tissue engineering. The nanomaterial, which in sheet form is 10,000 times thinner than the width of a human hair, is made of synthetic collagen. Naturally occurring collagen is the most abundant protein in humans, making the new material intrinsically biocompatible. ....

Close A team of chemists from Emory University in Atlanta, US, has invented a shape-shifting peptide nanomaterial that can be triggered controllably - paving the way for potential biomedicine applications. In a new research paper published in The Journal of the American Chemical Society, the team led by Emory University - together with correspondents from the Paul Scherrer Institut in Switzerland, Center of Cellular Imaging and NanoAnalytics at the University of Basel also in Switzerland, and the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, US - details the nature and behavior of the shape-shifting peptide nanomaterial. The newly invented material can transform from flat sheets to tubes as required, promising wide biomedicine applications - from tissue engineering to controlled drug and protein delivery. ....
