▼ The work presented in this dissertation focuses on biomimetic studies of two systems of biosilification: a subset of unicellular algae, known as diatoms, and sea sponges. Chapter I introduces the topics represented in subsequent chapters, including biomineralization, biosilica deposition in sea sponges, biosilica deposition in diatom cell walls, previous biomimetic work, and typical laboratory-based metal oxide formation. Work in Chapter II describes the development of a library of dendrimer-based biomimics of diatom structure-directing organic material. These dendrimers were studied for their ability to precipitate a variety of in vitro silica and titania morphologies, dependent on electrostatic interactions. In Chapter III, two readily available proteases, trypsin and papain, are investigated as potential biomimics of the silicatein enzyme, found in sea sponges as the only known enzymatic example of biosilica formation. The active sites and 3D structure of each protease was studied for its role in metal oxide precipitation. Chapter IV discusses a bottom up approach to metal oxide patterning without the use of harsh chemicals typically used in lithography. The templating and metal oxide formation are characterized using nano-imaging techniques. Chapter V focuses on the biosilicification process in diatoms, presenting work on developing a screening assay of T. pseudonana, whose genome has been fully sequenced. The purpose of the assay is to determine molecules that probe the silicon metabolic cycle that result in morphological changes to the silica frustule. Progress towards the development of this screen is laid out, including growth optimization, plate processing, and plate analysis using colorimetric and fluorescent silica quantitation, as well as flow cytometry. Finally, in Chapter VI, conclusions and future directions of this field are discussed, both in terms of specific work discussed in this dissertation as well as in broader applications.

▼ Nickel is an essential metal in biological systems and numerous studies have investigated the import, regulation, utilization, and export in cells and the proteins involved. Coordination complexes of nickel have been aimed at providing background information on exchange of nickel from N-rich binding sites used for import and storage to S-rich sites of the active enzymes. The model compounds were used to investigate a range of metal exchange reactions that are plausible during nickel homeostasis in cells. A comprehensive review has examined the MN2S2 complexes that have been synthesized-to-date and their structural aggregation properties when two to four metals bind to the available lone pair on the thiolate in MN2S2 complexes. The review summarized a wide range of modifications that are possible for MN2S2 complexes ranging from the metal used to the organic linker between the N and S donor atoms. The aggregation modes are largely determined by the coordination number preferences of the secondary metal(s). Another project attempted to quantify the electron donor properties and steric requirements of such MN2S2 metalloligands. Electronic donor properties were measured using the IR stretches in metal carbonyl reporter units. Attempts to quantify the spacial requirements of MN2S2 metalloligands were challenging due to the asymmetry of such ligands and several approaches were utilized such as the ligand cone angles (related to the famous Tolman cone angle) for monodentate binding, wedge angles for bidentate binding, or percent buried volume computations for both cases. A series of MN2S2O2 complexes was synthesized and metal exchange properties examined. The complexes could be obtained from S-modification of MN2S2 compounds of from the free N2S2 ligand followed by metallation. The study showed the hierarchy of metal exchange followed the Irving-Williams series of stability for first row transition metals: Fe2+ < Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu2+ > Zn2+. The mechanism of exchange appears to occur through a ligand unwrapping/wrapping process similar to the previously investigated M(EDTA) systems by Margerum in the 1960’s. A wide range of biomimetic and inorganic compounds structures were solved using X-ray diffraction methods and figures for the finalized structures are presented.

▼ This thesis is mainly concerned with understanding the biomineralization mechanisms, and further extrapolating them for the controllable synthesis of transition metal compound nanomaterials on graphene sheets for energy storage applications in electrochemical capacitors and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Firstly, we have studied the mimetic biomineralization process of CaCO3 on a stearic acid or 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) Langmuir monolayer at the air-water interface by in-situ Brewster angle microscopy (BAM) and ex-situ electron microscopy. Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) precursors are directly nucleated from solvated ions prior to the crystal nuclei on a Langmuir monolayer. On a DPPC monolayer, numerous fresh ACC nanoparticles heterogeneously and continuously nucleated at the air-water interface are transformed into the metastable vaterite nanocrystals. Driven by the trend to decrease surface energy, the vaterite nanocrystals self-aggregate and grow into the loose-packed hollow ellipsoidal vaterite polycrystals. These nanocrystals in vaterite polycrystals are then gradually orientated in the same direction to evolve into tight-packed ellipsoidal mesocrystals. As the crystallization time is further increased, the metastable vaterite mesocrystals are eventually transformed into the most thermodynamically stable calcite crystals. The degree of transformation is found to be closely related to the surface pressure of DPPC monolayer, revealing that the surface energy plays a vital role in determining the transformation process. However, the biomineralization process is exactly carried out in bulk solution rather than at the air-water interface of Langmuir monolayer. To mimic the biomineralization process more realistically, we further study it in an insoluble chitosan scaffold. During the mimetic biomineralization process, small citrate molecules is used for controlling the nucleation and stabilization of ACC precursors, just like the acidic biomacromolecules in the biominerals, and insoluble chitosan scaffold provides a scaffolding framework for crystallization. The crystallization process is almost consistent with that on a Langmuir monolayer, following an amorphous precursor pathway: the supersaturation solution → amorphous precursors → nanocrystals → polycrystals → mesocrystals → single crystals. Secondly, organic and inorganic additives control over the shapes, sizes and phases of inorganic nanocrystals and arrange them into ordered structures from amorphous precursors in the organisms. This interesting phenomenon has galvanized many attempts to mimic the biomineralization process for synthesizing novel materials. We have studied the crystallization processes from small citrate molecules stabilized ACC precursors under cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) micellar structures. Amorphous precursors, with a hydrated and disordered structure, are easily transformed and molded into CaCO3 crystals with novel morphologies, such as, hollow radiating cluster-like particles, hollow sheaf-like…

Natural products play a historical role in the discovery of medicine but present unique challenges for chemical isolation, identification and production. In this work we describe the identification of twenty novel diterpenoids. These were isolated by use of chromatography, and the structures determined by spectroscopic methods, primarily 1D and 2D NMR. Six of these possess unprecedented diterpenoid skeletons and two of them show significant growth inhibitory effects on cancer cell lines in vitro (GI50 < 10 μM). The biomimetic semisynthesis of diterpendoids and analogues is also presented. Access to the bielschowskyane carbon skeleton by dearomatization of a furanocembranoid precursor is described. Highlights include a stereoselective alkene epoxidation, a novel kinetic furan dearomatization method, and an efficient [2+2] photochemical cycloaddition. The role of conformational steering was studied spectroscopically using VT 1H-NMR and NOESY as well as quantum chemical calculations at the DFT level of theory. We also disclose a biomimetic synthesis of providencin using a photochemical Norrish-Yang cyclization. This provided the absolute configuration by chemical correlation with the precursor bipinnatin E, the latter determined by x-ray diffraction. An unexpected, regioisomeric byproduct was observed and a possible mechanism is proposed. A biomimetic synthesis of the diterpene alkaloid aceropterine is also described, using an epoxidation-rearrangement cascade. This work led to a revised structure of aceropterine, formulated by spectroscopic methods. Finally, the isolation and structure elucidation of a novel, cyclic lipopeptide from Pseudomonas sp. is described. The compound was obtained using a unique antibiotic crowd sourcing approach and the structure determined by spectroscopic methods and advanced Marfey’s analysis.

▼ Nanotechnology will revolutionize the industrial world in 21st century. Almost every country has invested in research to unfold the mysteries of nanomaterials and for their applications. A major driving force of nanomaterial research is through the imitation of living system and materials, also known as biomimetics. Polymeric biomaterials have a critical role in the advancement of medicine and sustainable green materials. In this dissertation I demonstrate the roles that the polysaccharide biopolymer chitin has as the major structural component of the arthropod cuticle and the potential that chitin has as a versatile component to novel biomaterial applications. Chitin is a polysaccharide that is a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer on the planet and a primary component of insect, arthropod and fungal exoskeletons/cuticles. Various factors contribute to the mechanical properties of an insect cuticle including cuticle thickness and composition. In my dissertation research I have also shown that nanoscale chitin polymer alignment may be another factor that contributes to the optical, surface, and mechanical properties of a cuticle. Purified chitin self-assembles into 20 nm chitin nanofibers that serve as the foundation for all higher order chitin structures in the cuticles of insects and other arthropods via interactions with structural cuticle proteins. In addition to this I have also demonstrated that purified chitin and its deacetylated form of chitosan have great potential as a substrate for many nanofabrication technique and thus provide a new and novel material in place of traditional synthetic polymers. In my dissertation is shown that the chitin and chitosan have great potential as the substrate for nanosphere lithography for the production of the generation of flexible antimicrobial and antifogging nanostructured surfaces. Metal nanoparticles are critical for many application and industrial processes, however the methods needed for their synthesis often are energy intensive and environmentally unfriendly. I demonstrate that chitin and chitosan are powerful tools for the green synthesis of metal nanoparticles. While arthropod cuticles are traditional examples for bio-mineralization and bio-metalization, I have found that a primary component of these process is due in fact to chitin and I use chitin to develop a novel class of composite nanomaterial which has important implications for a broad range of applications including antimicrobial surfaces, bioremediation, and cell scaffolds for biomedical engineering and regenerative medicine.

▼ The unique active site of [FeFe]-hydrogenase has inspired over 300 small molecule models derived from the classical organometallic complex, (μ-SRS-)[Fe(CO)3]2. However, no model complex has yet reproduced the hydrogen production capabilities of the enzyme. One reason for this is that the model complexes are not subject to the large number of second coordination sphere interactions that are present in the active site. This work represents two approaches to explore the importance of non-covalent interactions on the properties of small molecule models, (μ-SRS)[Fe(CO)3]2 and (μ-SRS[Fe(CO)2L]2, of the enzyme active site. First, a series of diiron models with additional steric bulk built into the dithiolate linker that connects the two irons were synthesized. While the electron donating ability of the dithiolate is not drastically altered, as evidenced by infrared spectroscopy, variable temperature - NMR studies show that the energy barrier for certain intramolecular dynamic processes, important in modeling the enzyme active site, is significantly lowered. Electrochemical studies on the all-CO derivatives showed no significant differences in the redox properties of the sterically bulky complexes compared to complexes without added steric bulk. For substituted complexes in which CO is replaced by strong donor ligands greater electrochemical changes were observed, with some events being more accessible by up to 230 mV. One electron oxidation of the disubstituted complexes has produced a series of rare mixed-valent FeIFeII complexes. An X-ray crystal structure of one of these complexes, (μ-SCH2C(CH3)2CH2S-)[Fe(CO)2PMe3]2PF6 shows both a semi-bridging carbonyl and an open site similar to the 2-Fe subsite in the Hox state of the enzyme active site. Another method for studying secondary interactions on the model complexes used a host-guest approach to provide an artificial protein environment. Reaction of an aryl sulfonate-containing diiron complex with natural β-cyclodextrin results in encapsulation of the model. The X-ray crystal structure of the inclusion complex, Na (μ-SCH2N(C6H4SO3-)CH2S-)[Fe(CO)3]2·2 β-cyclodextrin shows complete enclosure of the diiron model within two cyclodextrin units. Solution studies support the formation of an inclusion complex and show that the cyclodextrin is capable of producing significant redox changes to the model complex in H2O. This work has provided a new highly modifiable method for affecting change in the properties of model complexes through intermolecular interactions.

▼ Hypothesis: The ECM created by BMP2 over-expressing cells will have superior pro-osteogenic potential compared to ECM from HMSC. Introduction: Dental implant therapy is a commonly used modality to replace missing teeth. In many instances, however, insufficient alveolar bone volume is present and guided bone regeneration is required either prior to or at the time of implant placement to obtain sufficient bone volume. To date, many tissue engineering approaches have been used to increase both the rate and quality of bone remodeling. This study was undertaken to compare the pro-osteogenic capacity of extracellular matrix (ECM) created by BMP2 over-expressing stem cells in comparison to ECM of regular human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSC). Methods: ECM from BMP2 over-expressing cells and control HMSC were generated in 6-well plates. A control group consisting of no ECM was cultured as well. Data for cell proliferation was obtained at days 1,4,7, and 10. Cell differentiation at 7 days and 14 days was analyzed via quantitative PCR using osteogenic markers for each of the three groups. In addition, the ECM from BMP2 over-expressing cells and HMSC were characterized by immunohistochemical analysis. Results: For cell proliferation, only modest differences were noted between the three groups. At Day 7, both the BMP2 ECM and HMSC ECM groups showed greater cell proliferation compared to the control group. With respect to cell differentiation, at 14 days several pro-osteogenic, angiogenic growth factors and transcription factors were expressed at a higher level in the HMSCs cultured on BMP2 ECM with respect to the controls. Conclusion: The ECM from BMP2 over-expressing cells appears capable of increasing cell proliferation and inducing pro-osteogenic cell differentiation compared to control HMSCs and tissue culture plastic. Further research is needed to evaluate the effects on 3D scaffolds, such as collagen and bone graft particulates.

▼ Biomimetics is a field of engineering which aims to mimic what has been present in nature. High ceramic-content biomineralized structures like abalone nacre and antler bone have a layered-architecture at the nano- and microscale, consisting of a majority phase of elastic reinforcement platelets or fibrils embedded in a minority viscoelastic phase of proteins and polysaccharides. The synthesis of such systems artificially has attracted widespread interest, with a goal to designing tough composites with adaptable mechanical properties The results of synthesis pathways towards fabricating such materials are reported herein, including a chemical infiltration route, where growth occurs inside precursor organic multilayers. The structural and mechanical similarities with natural biomineralized systems will also be explored. TGA was used to calculate the rate of mineralization within multilayer films, micromechanical-testing techniques were implemented to compare synthetic composite's mechanical performance with natural biomineralized tissues like nacre. Finally, the mineralization process in three-dimensional multi-layer assembly is discussed using nano-patterning techniques. To gain a better reading on the presented work and contents discussed, an introduction followed up by comprehensive literature review over polymer assemblies and composite natural and man-made film are presented. Following this, the experimental section containing materials, methods and instruments are described in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5, infiltration process in layer-by-layer films on planar films producing flat substrates is reported. Chapter 6 describes peculiarities of multilayer films made of biopolymers and the chemical infiltration process in such structures, while Chapters 7 and 8 present the research data and analysis of multilayer films with chemical infiltration made modulated nano-imprinted surfaces using both synthetic and biological polymers assessing the bio-mimicking mineralisation in these systems. Finally, Chapters 9 and 10 present conclusions and future outlook.

► Polymerization of a series of novel acetylenic monomers bearing different hydrophilic entities such as ethylene glycols (1), amino acids (2), saccharides (3), and nucleosides (4)… (more)

▼ Polymerization of a series of novel acetylenic monomers bearing different hydrophilic entities such as ethylene glycols (1), amino acids (2), saccharides (3), and nucleosides (4) has been studied. The monomers can be successfully polymerized by Rh-based complexes, but not by metathesis catalysts such as WCl6 and MoCl5. 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed strong signals characteristic of cis olefinic protons of the polymers, indicative of their high stereoregularities. Such signals, however, became unclear (broader) for the amino acid-containing polyacetylenes when less polar solvents like chloroform, dichloromethane, were used, demonstrating that their polymer chains were folded and their molecular motions were hence restricted by internal hydrogen bonding. Polyacetylene is a symmetric chain of conjugated macromolecule, whose chain symmetry can, however, be broken by external and internal perturbations, generating spirally rotating molecular wires. The external approach involves the use of asymmetric force field and interactive complexing agents, while the internal one involves the covalent attachment of stereogenic pendants to the conjugated backbone at the molecular level. Incorporation of above naturally occurring building blocks (2-4) into the polyacetylene structure therefore results in the formation of not only amphiphilic but also optically active polymers, whose chain helicity can be continuously and reversibly tuned by simple external stimuli such as solvent, pH, temperature, and additive. Such tuned behaviors have been fully imaged in their corresponding circular dichroism activities and optical rotations, illustrating that stabilization of their single-handed helical conformations relies on intra- and inter-chain hydrogen bonds and is affected by bulkiness of the pendant groups of the macromolecular chains. The amphiphilic polyacetylenes, in response to the changes in their environments, self-associate into robust organizational morphologies reminiscent of natural hierarchical structures such as helix, sphere, twisted cable, twisted ribbon, vesicle, tubule, twisted tubule, hairpin loop, extended fibril, coiling ribbon, honeycomb pattern, and mollusk shape. Some of the structures have been rarely reported in scientific literature. AFM and TEM observations revealed co-existence of the vesicular and nanotubular structures, strongly supporting that formation of the tubules resembles the biological architectural process, as resulted from coalescence of the vesicles. Further variation of the tubular structure promoted the formation of multi-stranded helical tubes by winding up the single-stranded nanotubules. The ethylene glycol-containing amphiphiles are capable of forming micellar structures, driving crystal growth of carbazole molecules to form unique intriguing morphologies depending on the structure of the pendant groups. Biological studies revealed that the amino acid-containing polyacetylenes are generally biocompatible with HeLa cells without serious cytotoxicity effects up to a dosage of 22.24 μg/cm2.…

▼ Advancements in particle beam microscopy have allowed scientists to discover a wealth of surface architectures with nanoscale dimensions, many of which endow the surfaces with fascinating properties. Investigations of such surfaces have revealed some exciting physical phenomena, ranging from complex interactions with light such as brilliant iridescent colors resulting from diffraction and interference to water repelling self-cleaning superhydrophobic surfaces. Interestingly, the biological world, especially that of insects, has perhaps contributed the greatest number of these discoveries and will likely continue to do so as long as scientists entertain the idea that nature still has a vast collection of lessons to teach us. Examples of such phenomena include the structurally derived colors displayed by Chrysiridia rhipheus (Madagascan sunset moth), the anti-reflective and self-cleaning wings of Psaltoda claripennis (Clanger cicada), along with its more recent discovery of mechanically induced bactericidal activity. The implications of such a discovery are truly revolutionary as it is the first time that surface topography has been linked to microbial death. With this discovery a new defensive strategy against biofilm derived pathogenesis and related problems has arrived and must be further investigated for a more thorough understanding. It’s a generally accepted notion that fungi much like bacteria can form complex protective biofilms and are undoubtedly a source of pathogenesis. For example C. albicans is the fourth most frequent organism found in the blood of hospitalized patients. While bacterial infections have been given much attention, less has been given to fungal biofilms though they are a major source of nosocomial infections attributed in part to adhesion to invasive devices such as catheters, cardiac pacemakers, prosthetic heart valves etc. S. cerevisiae, a generally non-pathogenic yeast, has been proposed as a model for fungal biofilm formation with similar behaviors but far more genetic tools available. In the present work I investigate the effects that the nano-structured wings of our local Dog Day cicada Tibicen tibicen have on adhered S. cerevisiae to assess for antifungal activity. Resembling that of the bactericidal activity, my study concludes antifungal activity of a cell rupturing mechanical nature attributed to the nano-topography of the Dog Day cicada wing. Following this discovery I utilize nano-sphere lithography (NSL) to fabricate analogous nanostructures as well as proportionally smaller and larger nanostructures in common synthetic polymers to be tested for translation of function. Studies with E. coli and S. cerevisiae reveal the overlooked but fundamentally important mechanical properties of nano-structures as they apply to mechanical microbicidal functionality. In addition to biocidal activity studies, I also demonstrate the remarkable anti-adhesive nature of a particular scale nano-patterned surface relative to flat surfaces of analogous chemistry.; Adhesion, Antimicrobial, Biomimetic,… Advisors/Committee Members: Dennis LaJeunesse (advisor).

▼ A living, self-supporting pulp tissue replacement for patients remains a considerable bioengineering challenge. As yet there is no method for engineering a self-sustaining living pulp tissue that can be successfully transplanted into the patient and have any beneficial clinical outcomes. The main reason for this failure is the inability to reconstitute a functional blood vessel tubular network within the engineered pulp tissue. In addition, it has yet not been possible to engineer the various anatomically distinct structures and architectures of the healthy pulp tissue. The idea is that a bio-engineered pulp-like structure prior to transplantation will accelerate integration and reduce the potential for complications. Recently new strides are being taken to make a functioning living pulp tissue using the latest step by step enhancements that are occurring in biomimetic molecular engineering. The use of this basic tissue engineering processes of living organic matter in fabrication is ensuring that prospective lab-made tissue products are biologically compatible. Systems built into biomaterials involving self-assembly, feedback mechanisms will lead to realistic tissue replicates. The new methods include, fabricating biomimetic tissue frameworks with an array of keystone biochemical cues and structural cues. Alternatively others are suggesting that it is feasible to stimulate natural repair using small molecules and temporary frameworks together or independently. A typical tissue engineering strategy that also promises to work is to combine mixed cell populations and growth factors in a scaffold microenvironment. The hypothesis is that recreating an early stage tissue microenvironment-one that resembles the postnatal constitution that will initiate the autonomous reconstruction of native pulp tissue in vitro. As a result, a coherent self-sustaining and self-supporting tissue construct is prepared for rapid integration and remodeling. Our purpose, in this study is to create the formative elements for pulp tissue that go on to develop and regenerate into a functional living pulp tissue. The objective were firstly, to combine dental mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells with limited key growth factors within a space filling the aalginate hydrogel. Secondly, to test the capacity of these encapsulated stem cells for proliferationon, and lastly, measure the capture level for soluble bio-chemicals and test the capacity of the system to release growth factors in a slow, continuous fashion. These are critical performance issues for building pulp de novo. There are more to be tackled in later stages of developing this technology. An alginate-RGD conjugated gel was used to encapsulate adult dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in the ratio of 1:1. It also served as a means for the targeted delivery of two key growth factors 〖VEGF〗¹²¹ (Vascular endothelial growth factor) and FGF-2 (Fibroblastic growth factor) towards the population of cells.

▼ Underwater surveillance missions both for defense and civilian applications are continually demanding the need for unmanned underwater vehicles or UUVs. Unmanned vehicles are needed to meet the logistical requirements for operation over long distances, greater depths, long duration, and harsh conditions. In order to design UUVs that not only satisfy these needs but are also adaptive and efficient, there has been increasing interest in taking inspiration from nature. These biomimetic/bio-inspired UUVs are expected to provide significant improvement over the conventional propeller based vehicles by taking advantage of flexible bodies and smart actuation. In this thesis, jetting jellyfish were utilized as the inspiration to understand the fundamentals of this new form of propulsion and subsequently translate the understanding onto the engineered platform to validate the hypothesis and construct robust models. Jetting jellyfish species are generally smaller in dimensions than rowing jellyfish, consume lower energy for transport, and exhibit higher proficiency. In the second chapter, a bio-inspired stationary jet propulsion mechanism that utilizes an iris diaphragm actuation system was developed. Detailed discussion is provided on the design methodology and factors playing the leading role in controlling the vortex formation. The propulsion mechanism was intended to mimic the morphological and deformation features of Sarsia sp. jellyfish that measures approximately 1 cm in diameter. The performance of experimental model was analyzed and modeled to elucidate the role of structure and fluid displacement. Utilizing the results from Chapter 2, a free-swimming jellyfish-inspired robot (named JetPRo) was developed (also utilizing an iris diaphragm) in Chapter 3 and characterized for relevant propulsive metrics. A combination of theoretical modeling and experimental analysis was used to optimize the JetPRo's gait for maximum steady-state swimming velocity. Next, an attempt was made towards creating a free-swimming jetting robot (named JP2) using a guided cable mechanism to achieve the desired actuation and improve the propulsion while simplifying the drive mechanism. Using JP2 robotic model, a systematic set of experiments were conducted and the results were used to refine the theory. Based upon the comprehensive computational analysis, an optimized swimming gait was predicted and then validated. A modular robot inspired by siphonophores was developed and initial efforts were made in laying down the foundation for understanding of this complex locomotion mechanism. Siphonophores are colonial organisms consisting of several jetting bodies attached to a central stem. An experimental model was developed mimicking the multimodal swimming propulsion utilized by Siphonophores. Several swimming gaits inspired by the natural animal were replicated and the preliminary performance of the experimental model was quantified. Using these results, an analysis is presented towards further improving the design and assembly of a… Advisors/Committee Members: Priya, Shashank (committeechair), Mueller, Rolf (committee member), Bird, John P.

▼ Bats are known for using echolocation in addition to sight for hunting and navigating at night. The capabilities of bats and their ``sonar'' systems vary widely, as each species has evolved to survive in its specific environment. Certain species of bats indigenous to Eurasia are observed to perform complex motions of the outer ear and noseleaf (a ridged structure which sits atop the nostrils and acts like a ``megaphone'' of sorts). These bats are noted to be able to live in particularly cluttered environments and could be a particularly useful model organism for improving sonar. This is because since they are able to acquire detailed information about its surroundings with only their nostrils and ears, are able to outperform complicated man-made devices with thousands more sensing elements. To be able to better understand how a fast-moving ear and noseleaf can improve the sonar capabilities of bats, robots which mimic these bats have been devised, with the main purpose being to replicate the sensing elements of the bat. There have been significant changes made to the robotic sonar head in order to allow for us to expand the capabilities of our research. Using CT-scans as reference, the design of the baffles was redesigned to become more realistic and to have more features observed in the bats. A new method was designed in order to move the ``ears'' and ``noseleaf'' of the robot, using pneumatic actuators, which allowed for better control of the system. Finally, prototype sensors were developed to aid in the development of a motion feedback system to ensure a stable system. The robotic sonar has been used in several experiments to study the effects of a fast-moving, flexible anatomy on the physical properties of echoes. This is first illustrated by studying the echoes from various targets with changes in ear and noseleaf shape. Additionally, with the use of the improved actuation system, it was shown that different motion profiles lead to different responses. The continued development of this system and the changes to the signals explored provide new opportunities for furthering the fields of adaptive sensing as they apply to robots and other platforms. Being able to use a few ``smart'' sensors will help reduce the size, power, and weight costs of traditional sensing designs and allow for more robust and efficient technology to be produced.

▼ Mother Nature is replete with mechanisms that enable self-assembly at the nanoscale to produce a myriad of inorganic materials with precise dimensions, controlled morphology and high complexity from the assemblage of many smaller and simpler components. This has triggered multidisciplinary research at the threshold where biology meets chemistry and physics. The formulation of these nanostructures appears simple, yet is achieved using complex biochemical pathways. Elucidating the complexity of Natureâ€™s artwork has long been a source of inspiration for materials scientists. The attempt at designing strategies to create inorganic nanomaterials has led to the development of biological â€˜Greenâ€™ synthesis routes over the past decade or so. This approach typically encompasses biosynthesis (use of live organisms) and biomimetic (use of biomacromolecules) routes and has revolutionised the aspect of nanoparticle synthesis. The challenge now lies in understanding the underlying principles/mechanisms employed by nature towards the synthesis and assembly of these technologically important nanomaterials into complex 3D morphologies. Although biological routes have been well-studied, the role of physico-chemical environment during the synthesis of nanomaterials is still a relatively unexplored niche wherein there is limited or no information. The main objective of this research is to understand the critical role of physico-chemical environment during biological synthesis of materials that would help elucidate the complex supramolecular chemistry involved in the formation of the intricate and ornate morphologies. This research would, in a nutshell, provide information on some of the underlying fundamental principles employed by Nature during the synthesis and assembly of bioinorganic nanomaterials. The research work outlined herein is split into two distinct aspects that typically involve biosynthesis (metallic silver and copper nanoparticles) and biomimetic synthesis (silica particles). Although the two aspects concentrate on different systems, essentially the common theme of the important role of physico-chemical environments in controlling biomineral morphologies links the different chapters of this thesis.
