Fabrication of Janus Micromotors Based on Black Titanium Dioxide for Medical Application, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Madaah Hosseini, Hamid Reza (Supervisor) ; Tavakoli, Rohollah (Co-Supervisor)
Abstract
Enzyme-powered motors self-propel through the catalysis of biofuels, which makes them excellent candidates for biomedical applications. However, fundamental issues such as their movement in biological fluids and understanding the mechanism of propulsion are important aspects that must be considered before application in biomedicine. Building active systems based on biocompatible materials that use non-toxic fuels to power their vehicles have always been challenging. In this study, self-propelled micromotors consist of titanium dioxide black spheres asymmetrically coated with a thin layer of gold. Cysteine was used to bind urease enzyme due to thiol binding. By biocatalytically converting...
