Signal-Responsive Hybrid Biomaterials with Built-in Boolean Logic Evgeny Katz, Clarkson University, DMR 0706209 Objectives and Achievements The overall objective of the proposed research is to develop an approach to the fabrication of “smart” signal-responsive materials with the build-in Boolean logic. The systems will be capable of switching physical properties upon application of the incoming chemical signals and according to the build-in logic gates. The logic gates will be composed of enzymatic systems integrated with responsive polymeric supports. The chemical reactions biocatalyzed by the enzyme-based systems will respond to the income chemical signals according to the Boolean logic and transfer the outgoing signal to the responsive polymeric support. Several multi-signal-responsive nano-structured materials with Boolean logic were developed including switchable membranes, nanoparticle ensembles and emulsions.
