Novel Bionic Biomembrane Supported by Gold Nanoparticles/Cellulose Hybrid Films

Abstract:

As one of the main methods to study biomembranes, the construction of highly active bionic biomembrane systems is very important. Based on the hybrid film of gold nanoparticles and cellulose, a novel system of bionic biomembrane is demonstrated. The ratio effects of lecithin to cholesterin on the stability of bilayer lipid membranes are studied. Lipid solutions that can form stable membranes in the air and in some aqueous solutions are prepared. The bionic biomembranes composed of bilayer lipid membranes and hybrid films of gold nanoparticles and cellulose can be sustained for a long period in aqueous solutions. The bionic biomembranes also exhibit some interesting electrochemical properties.
