The molecular assembly method has been utilized to create diverse peptide nanostructures with functional physical and chemical properties. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly clear that the ability to fabricate these peptide nanostructures has great potential for a multitude of future applications. Herein, we developed a biomimetic fabrication process to create large-scale peptide nanotube arrays through the meniscus-driven self-assembly process. When the substrate was pulled out from the FF suspensions, undulated meniscus was formed on the air/liquid/solid interface and FF nanotubes was formed by self-assembly of FF monomeric building block. Remarkably, the FF nanostructures exhibited rather high piezoelectric coefficient (46.2 pm/V) than previous other piezoelectric biomolecules. This work will pave the way to study about biomolecular self-assembly in real-time and mass-produce the devices based on biomolecules for practical applications. |
