AbstractAn amphiphilic peptide having alternate sequence of hydrophobic and charged amino acid residues, RFDF16 (CH3CO-RFDFRFDFRFDFRFDF-NH2), was designed to form a β-sheet monolayer at the air/water interface. The peptide monolayer was prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. The LB films were transferred onto mica substrates without the compressing process at various pH values in order to investigate a self-organized structure of peptide monolayer. Surface morphology of LB films showed arranged nano-fibers which have differences in interval between fibers and their orientation depending on pH of the subphase. On the other hand, the self-organized nano-fiber was also re-arranged by compressing process. The nano-fibers became elongated and aligned upon compression to higher surface pressures. The exploitation of an electrostatic interaction and compressing process will allow a larger two-dimensionally regulated nano-structure.

AbstractAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) subjects can present temporary behaviors of acute agitation and aggressiveness, named problem behaviors. They have been shown to be consistent with the self-organized criticality (SOC), a model wherein occasionally occurring “catastrophic events” are necessary in order to maintain a self-organized “critical equilibrium.” The SOC can represent the psychopathology network structures and additionally suggests that they can be considered as self-organized systems.

The first few atomic layers of a solid can form a barrier between its interior and an often hostile environment. Although adsorption at the vacuum-solid interface has been studied in great detail, little is known about adsorption at the liquid-solid interface. Adsorption at a liquid-solid interface is of intrinsic interest, and is of technological importance because it provides a way to coat a surface with monolayer or multilayer structures. A pinhole free monolayer (with a reasonable dielectric constant) could lead to the development of nanoscale capacitors with unique characteristics and lithographic resists that surpass the resolution of their conventional counterparts. Chemically selective adsorption is of particular interest because it can be used to passivate a surface from external modification or change the wear and the lubrication properties of a surface to reflect new and useful properties. Immunochemical adsorption could be used to fabricate novel molecular electronic devices or to construct small, “smart”, unobtrusive sensors with the potential to detect a wide variety of preselected species at the molecular level. These might include a particular carcinogen in the environment, a specific type of explosive, a chemical agent, a virus, or even a tumor in the human body.
