Assembly of Cytoskeletal Filaments

26.8K
Cytoskeletal filaments are polymeric forms of smaller protein subunits. However, individual cytoskeletal filaments may easily disassemble or associate with other similar filaments to form rigid structures. Microfilaments, made of actin monomers, rely on actin-binding proteins to form bundles and create networks of individual actin filaments. Microtubules rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) to form sturdy cylindrical structures. However, the proteins involved in forming complex...

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures

2.3K
Complex microtubule structures are present in resting cells and in dividing cells. In resting cells, they are responsible for maintaining the cellular architecture, tracks for intracellular transport, positioning of organelles, assembly of cilia and flagella. They mediate the bipolar spindle assembly for chromosomal segregation and positioning of the cell division plate in dividing cells. The formation of microtubule complex structures depends on the cell type, cell stage, and cell function.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Stainless steel substrates are crucial for catalytic applications.
  • Controlled synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is essential for advanced materials.
  • Metal oxide nanoparticles act as catalysts for CNT growth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a method for generating well-defined multiwalled carbon nanotube structures on stainless steel.
  • To control CNT length and morphology by tuning nanoparticle density.
  • To explore laser-based techniques for creating diverse CNT structures.

Main Methods:

  • Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on stainless steel AISI 304.
  • Pulsed laser-induced dewetting (PLiD) using 532 nm nanosecond laser pulses to create nanoparticle fields.
  • Reduction of precursor particles in Ar/H2 atmosphere to form catalytic nanoparticles (c-NPs).
  • CNT growth using ethylene as precursor gas.

Main Results:

  • Vertically aligned CNTs of significant length were achieved by controlling c-NP aerial density.
  • CNT morphology (length, alignment) directly correlated with c-NP density, tunable via PLiD cycles.
  • Higher laser intensity led to 3D dewetting and cauliflower-like structures.
  • The laser process allows for the creation of various CNT morphologies at the microscale.

Conclusions:

  • PLiD offers precise control over catalytic nanoparticle formation for CNT synthesis.
  • CNT growth parameters can be tailored by adjusting laser treatment parameters.
  • This method provides a versatile platform for fabricating microscale CNT structures with desired morphologies.
