Description of research activity:
Theoretical and experimental study of polymeric nanopores, functionalised on their surface with molecules of specific properties, with applications to Micro- and Nanofluidics. These terms refer to the processing of liquids over spatial distances ranging from a few nanometres to a few micrometres. Research includes: Identify which input/output signals can be used in the design of nanofluidic devices capable of performing simple information and logic processing tasks with functionalised nanopores. Compare the biomimetic functions of functionalised nanopores with those of proteins located in mesoscopic ion channels of biological membranes. Implement external reconfiguration processes in a single device using electrical, optical or chemical pulses based on pre-programmed signals. We follow here the natural analogy between nanofluidic devices and electronic components controlling electron and hole flow to implement active functions such as rectification, field effect and bipolar control of ionic currents. Cellular and multicellular bioelectricity. Modelling of cellular bioelectrical properties such as membrane potential. Theoretical simulation of multicellular...Theoretical and experimental study of polymeric nanopores, functionalised on their surface with molecules of specific properties, with applications to Micro- and Nanofluidics.
