1. Caracterização da resistência à corrosão de ligas de alumínio após tratamentos alternativos à cromatização, com e sem revestimento orgânico / Characterization of the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys after alternative treatmentes the chromate, with and without organic coating
In this study, the protective properties provided by new surface treatments for aluminum aiming the replacement of treatments that are harmful to the environment and human health, have been evaluated. The following treatments were investigated: passivation in solution with trivalent chromium ions, surface modification with self assembling molecules (SAM), im

2. Estudo de Filmes Automontados de látex de borracha natural, Carboximetil-quitosana e nanopartículas magnéticas / Study of Self-Assembling Films of Natural Rubber Latex, carboxymethyl chitosan and magnetic nanoparticles
In this work, we investigated the fabrication of ultrathin films of natural rubber latex (NRL), carboxymethyl-chitosan (CMC) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNP) in different supramolecular architectures. The materials choice was based on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of NRL, antimicrobial action of CMC and magnetic properties of MNP, w

3. Investigação do efeito de moléculas auto-organizáveis na resistência à corrosão da liga de Alumínio 1050 / Investigation on the of effect of self assembling molecules on the corrosion resistance of the 1050 aluminium alloy
Tratamentos de superfície são técnicas amplamente utilizadas com a finalidade de aumentar a resistência à corrosão de materiais metálicos. No caso específico do alumínio e ligas de alumínio, o tratamento com cromo hexavalente é um dos processos mais utilizados. Isso, em razão da eficiência e da facilidade de aplicação desse processo. Entretant

4. Eletrodos modificados com monocamadas auto-organizadas de alcanotióis: uma abordagem sobre a transferência eletrônica / Electrode surface modified with alkanothiols self-assembled monolayers: an electron transfer approach
The modification of electrode surfaces with self-assembled monolayer (SAM) is one of the top subjects in electrochemistry and electroanalysis, mainly due to its much enhanced biocompatibility. In this study, the focuses are centered in the electron transfer through SAMs of alkanothiols assembled onto gold electrode surfaces. In order to investigate the elect

5. Biomimetic organization: Octapeptide self-assembly into nanotubes of viral capsid-like dimension
The controlled self-assembly of complex molecules into well defined hierarchical structures is a promising route for fabricating nanostructures. These nanoscale structures can be realized by naturally occurring proteins such as tobacco mosaic virus, capsid proteins, tubulin, actin, etc. Here, we report a simple alternative method based on self-assembling

6. Peptide-amphiphile nanofibers: A versatile scaffold for the preparation of self-assembling materials
Twelve derivatives of peptide-amphiphile molecules, designed to self-assemble into nanofibers, are described. The scope of amino acid selection and alkyl tail modification in the peptide-amphiphile molecules are investigated, yielding nanofibers varying in morphology, surface chemistry, and potential bioactivity. The results demonstrate the chemically versat

7. Emerging Applications of Bacterial Spores in Nanobiotechnology
Bacterial spores are robust and dormant life forms with formidable resistance properties, in part, attributable to the multiple layers of protein that encase the spore in a protective and flexible shield. The coat has a number of features pertinent to the emerging field of nanobiotechnology including self-assembling protomers and the capacity for engineering

8. Self-assembling biomaterials: Liquid crystal phases of cholesteryl oligo(l-lactic acid) and their interactions with cells
We report here on the synthesis and characterization of a series of self-assembling biomaterials with molecular features designed to interact with cells and scaffolds for tissue regeneration. The molecules of these materials contain cholesteryl moieties, which have universal affinity for cell membranes, and short chains of lactic acid, a common component of

9. Beyond molecules: Self-assembly of mesoscopic and macroscopic components
Self-assembly is a process in which components, either separate or linked, spontaneously form ordered aggregates. Self-assembly can occur with components having sizes from the molecular to the macroscopic, provided that appropriate conditions are met. Although much of the work in self-assembly has focused on molecular components, many of the most interesting

10. Reversible encapsulation by self-assembling resorcinarene subunits
Encapsulation complexes are assemblies in which a reversibly formed host more or less completely surrounds guest molecules. Host structures held together by hydrogen bonds have lifetimes in organic solvents of milliseconds to hours, long enough to directly observe the encapsulated guest by NMR spectroscopy. We describe here the action of alkyl ammonium compo

11. Hierarchical self-assembly of chiral rod-like molecules as a model for peptide β-sheet tapes, ribbons, fibrils, and fibers
A generic statistical mechanical model is presented for the self-assembly of chiral rod-like units, such as β-sheet-forming peptides, into helical tapes, which with increasing concentration associate into twisted ribbons (double tapes), fibrils (twisted stacks of ribbons), and fibers (entwined fibrils). The finite fibril width and helicity is shown to stem

12. Self-assembling amphiphilic molecules: Synthesis in simulated interstellar/precometary ices
Interstellar gas and dust constitute the primary material from which the solar system formed. Near the end of the hot early phase of star and planet formation, volatile, less refractory materials were transported into the inner solar system as comets and interplanetary dust particles. Once the inner planets had sufficiently cooled, late accretionary inf
