Abstract

Organized assemblies of bionanoparticles such as ferritin provides templates that can be exploited for nanotechnological applications. Organization of ferritin into well-defined three- dimensional assemblies is challenging and has attracted considerable attention recently. We have synthesized, for the first time, large (centimeter-sized) self-standing macroporous scaffold monoliths from ferritin bionanoparticles, using dynamic templating of surfactant ...
