Virus particles as components of (meta)materials and catalytic systems
Wednesday 29 October 2014
From 13:00h to 18:00h
The main objective of this seminar is to discuss the potential use of modified virus particles, virus capsids, and synthetic virus-like particles as nano-building blocks for the construction of functional self-assembled systems focusing on applications in the fields of (meta-)materials and catalysis.
