Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a new method for producing large-area arrays of micropore and nanopore clusters by pure self-organization. The array of holes can be controlled on the surface of the substrate in discrete areas. The size of the holes and the transverse hole spacing can be adjusted in the range of microns and nanometers. Background technique
[0002] Micropores and nanopores or pore arrays, respectively, have numerous applications, eg as biomimetic model systems for simulating and explaining processes occurring at the level of the cell membrane. Nanopore systems are used to regulate intracellular and intercellular transport of ions and molecules and the maintenance of electrical potentials between cells and their environment. Thus, for example, the nucleus of a eukaryotic life form is separated from the rest of the cell by a nuclear membrane with permeable pores. The intertransmission of RNA, proteins and molecules between the nucleus...
