Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A technique for a nanodevice is provided. The nanodevice includes a fluidic cell, and a membrane dividing the fluidic cell. A nanopore is formed through the membrane, and the nanopore is coated with an organic compound. A first part of the organic compound binds to a surface of the nanopore and a second part of the organic compound is exposed freely inside of the nanopore. The second part of the organic compound is configured to be switched among a first neutral hydrophilic end group, a second negatively charged hydrophilic end group, and a third neutral hydrophobic end group based on a switching mechanism.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for functionally switching an organic compound in a nanopore, the method comprising: coating the nanopore in a nanodevice with the organic compound, the nanodevice comprising a fluidic cell, a membrane dividing the fluidic cell, and the nanopore formed through the membrane such that the membrane exposed in the nanopore is coated with the organic compound selected from a group comprising 4-carboxylbenzyl phosphonic acid and 4-aminophenylhydroxamic ac…
