Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Reactive nanocomposites comprising a metal nanoparticle functionalized with one or more layers of self-assembled protein cages and methods of making the same. The reactive nanocomposites according to the present invention demonstrate improved reaction kinetics and enhanced exothermic behavior.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A reactive nanocomposite comprising: a plurality of metal nanoparticles having an outer surface; a layer of a plurality of positively-charged loaded protein cages contacting the outer surface of the plurality of metal nanoparticles to form the reactive nanocomposite, wherein the outer surface comprises at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Al, B, Si, Mg, Ni, Ti, and Ag, and wherein the plurality of positively-charged loaded prote…
