Preparation, Structural Characterization and Functional Coupling of Tethered Membranes to Solid Substrates

  • Chapter
Biophysics of Electron Transfer and Molecular Bioelectronics

Abstract

One of the remaining major challenges of current scientific “hot topics” at the boundary between physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials science, and mechanical and electrical engineering is the interface between the living world of biomolecules, cells and tissues and the technical world of implants, sensor surfaces or signal transducers in neuroelectronic circuits. The understanding, design, fabrication, control and modification of these “bio-interfaces” will be in the center of many scientific activities aiming at compatibilizing the two spheres in an effort to not only induce a passive mutual toleration, but rather generate an interactive network of components originating from living organisms and, e.g., microelectronic devices (Nicolini, 1996).
