Abstract in brief
- This research introduces a simple method called electrostatic self-assembly to create large, customizable amyloid fibril films at the air-water interface, overcoming their natural brittleness.
- The amyloid fibrils are used as templates to incorporate nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes and magnetic Fe3O4, resulting in multifunctional films with properties such as conductivity and magnetism.
- These films are applied to develop smart devices, including a magnetic field-sensitive sensor and a soft robotic swimmer with controlled movement, showcasing their potential for advanced applications.]
