Polymers as Organizers--Russo
Biopolymers assume structural and functional roles in nature and in commercial applications. The ability to organize other molecules is an underutilized function that will be discussed in the context of two different biopolymers. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) align in parallel fashion to produce liquid crystals. The potential exists for semiconducting polymers to follow CNCs into the aligned state, thereby leading to materials with enhanced optoelectronic performance. Having achieved their organizational objective, the CNCs will remain to confer mechanical strength. A different route to organization uses biosurfactant proteins known as hydrophobins. Produced by fungi in the forest and on the farm, these small proteins assemble into strong films that can encapsulate many fluids, including semiconducting polymer solutions. Improved alignment and attendant performance gains may be realized as the solvent leaks out of the capsules, progressively concentrating the polymers into waterborne latex particles for easy and environmentally friendly application.

Hydrophobins are secreted by fungi; no one knows why, but yesterday here at RBI Gregg Beckham from NREL demonstrated that fungal enzymes have a role in converting biomass. Those fungi will also be producing hydrophobins.
