bio
mimics
Mimicking the properties of natural superhydrophobic surfaces. Development of frictionless surfaces.
​
Ref: Ajayaghosh and co-workers, Angew. Chem. (2017)

Molecular
Machines
Development of stimuli-responsive molecular machine components e.g. pseudorotaxanes. Future challenges include gaining control over unidirectional motion and utilization of combination of different molecular machines for mimicking biological functions.
