Nanotechnology has been primarily driven by the semiconductor industry and the

need for smaller faster and more efficient chips

Packing more and more transistors onto a single chip made many aspects of modern

life possible

Nanoscale Concepts Directly Tie to Biology

Properties Dependent on Size

Nanoscale Concepts Directly Tie to Biology

Priorities of Forces and Interactions

PolymersTwo Variations on a Theme

bull Cross-linked

bull Ringed

Each bond between atoms has a specific strength

A different atom or molecule introduced into this polymer ldquosystemrdquo can form or break bonds dependent upon the relative strengths

Changes in bonds will result in a change in the atomic arrangement (molecular structure) and potentially change the properties of the ldquosystemrdquo

Cross-Linked Polymer

Activity Cross-linked Polymer

Magic Snow (Steve Spangler Science)

Cross Linked Polymer ndash similar to collagen or cellulose ndash the ldquozigzagrdquo of the polymer gives it the elastic property and the cross-linking between zigzags helps keep the structure (stiffness)

Place a small amount of the material in a Petri dish -- Feel it and observe itrsquos physical properties

Using a plastic transfer pipette add some water to the material

Observe what happens

Now feel the resulting material ndash How have the physical properties changed

What do you think happened

Answer The water a dipole molecule interacted with and affected the cross-linking bonds ldquoreleasingrdquo the polymers ndash We changed the atomic arrangement and as a result changed the physical properties of the material

Super Absorbing Polymers (Found in diapers) are ringed type polymers

Surface tension (balanced cohesive and adhesive forces)ldquotrapsrdquo moisture in the ring structureSimilar to the ring blower shape for soap bubbles

Cut a small area of diaperAdd water until saturatedMeasure the amount of water (volume or weight)Determine number of water molecules in the amount absorbedDetermine surface area that could be covered by a 1 atom thick layerie assuming a water molecule has a vol of 4 nm x 4 nm x3nm 5 cc of water would cover 130m x 130m

Other organizations are looking at ways in which nanotechnology can offer improvements in sensitivity or ease by which contamination of food is detected

For example AgroMicron has developed the NanoBioluminescence Detection Spray which contains a luminescent protein that has been engineered to bind to the surface of microbes such as Salmonella and E coli

When bound it emits a visible glow thus allowing easy detection of contaminated food or beverages The more intense the glow is the higher the bacterial contamination

The company aims to market the product under the name BioMark and is currently designing new spray techniques to apply in ocean freight containerized shipping as well as to fight bioterrorism
