Abstract:
1. A system for controlled fabrication of functionalized nanostructures comprising: a) a first chamber containing a solution of polymers derivatized with a first binding partner at regular intervals; b) a nanopore structure with a plurality of defined nanopores therethrough; c) a second chamber in fluid communication with the first chamber through the nanopore structure containing a solution of nanocomponents derivatized with a second binding partner that binds to the first binding partner, wherein the nanocomponents are prevented from passing through the nanopores; and d) a source of a driving force adapted for facilitating movement of the polymers in the first chamber through the nanopores into the second chamber within which the second binding partner binds to the first binding partner to form the functionalized nanostructures with the nanocomponents bound to the polymer at regular intervals.
