Abstract
Immobilization of protein at high efficiency is a challenge for fabricating polymer-based protein chips. Here, a simple but effective approach was developed to fabricate a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC)-based protein microarray with a high immobilization density. In this strategy, poly(maleic anhydride-co-vinyl acetate) (poly(MAH-co-VAc)) brushes were facilely attached on the COC surface via UV-induced graft copolymerization. The introduction of poly(MAH-co-VAc) brushes resulted in an obvious increase in the surface roughness of COC. The functionalized COC showed little reduction in transparency compared with pristine COC, indicating that the photografting treatment did not alter its optical property. The graft density of the anhydride groups on the modified COC could be tuned from 0.46 to 3.2 μmol/cm2. The immobilization efficiency of immunoglobulin G (IgG) on functionalized COC reached 88% due to the high reactivity between anhydride groups and amine groups of IgGs. An immunoassay experiment demonstrated that the microarray showed high sensitivity to the target analyte.

Abstract
We have demonstrated a novel way to form thickness-controllable polyelectrolyte-film/nanoparticle patterns by using a plasma etching technique to form, first, a patterned self-assembled monolayer surface, followed by layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte-films/nanoparticles. Octadecyltrimethoxysilane (ODS) and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were used for polyelectrolyte-film and nanoparticle patterning, respectively. The resolution of the proposed patterning method can easily reach approximately 2.5 μm. The height of the groove structure was tunable from approximately 2.5 to 150 nm. The suspended lipid membrane across the grooves was fabricated by incubating the patterned polyelectrolyte groove arrays in solutions of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The method demonstrated here reveals a new path to create patterned 2D or 3D structures.

Abstract
In nature, plants and some bacteria have evolved an ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy usable by the organism. This process involves several proteins and the creation of a chemical gradient across the cell membrane. To transfer this process to a laboratory environment, several conditions have to be met: i) proteins need to be reconstituted into a lipid membrane, ii) the proteins need to be correctly oriented and functional and, finally, iii) the lipid membrane should be capable of maintaining chemical and electrical gradients. Investigating the processes of photosynthesis and energy generation in vivo is a difficult task due to the complexity of the membrane and its associated proteins. Solid, supported lipid bilayers provide a good model system for the systematic investigation of the different components involved in the photosynthetic pathway. In this review, the progress made to date in the development of supported lipid bilayer systems suitable for the investigation of membrane proteins is described; in particular, there is a focus on those used for the reconstitution of proteins involved in light capture.

Abstract
The well-controlled material assembly and patterning on indium tin oxide (ITO) coating layer is of great importance for the practical fabrication of a functional device. Nonetheless, the conventional way to achieve this aim is still mainly based on the combination of photolithography with pattern transfer techniques (e.g., wet/dry etching, μCP) due to the lack of one method that is able to directly afford site-selective ITO surface tailoring and subsequent templating for material assembly. Herein, we reported a novel, fast, and efficient photochemical reaction to accurately tailor the surface property of ITO with light-controlled site-selectivity, thus resulting in direct photoresist-free and etching/contact-free lithographic patterning of building blocks, e.g., ZnO, BaTiO3, CdS, lipid membrane, conductive polymers, colloids, and liquid crystals. The entire process reveals new interfacial chemistry suitable for inorganic metal oxide and its important versatile implications for low-cost fabrication of large-area flat and flexible optical/electronic/biorelated devices.

Abstract
Lipid nanotubes have great potential in biology and nanotechnology. Here we demonstrate a method to form lipid nanotubes using space-regulated AC electric fields above coplanar interdigitated electrodes. The AC electric field distribution can be regulated by solution height above the electrodes. The ratio of field component in x axis (Ex) to field component in z axis (Ez) increases dramatically at solution height below 50 μm; therefore, at lower solution height, the force from Ex predominantly drives lipids to form lipid nanotubes along with the electric field direction. The forces exerted on the lipid nanotube during its formation were analyzed in detail, and an equation was obtained to describe the relationship among nanotube length and field frequency, amplitude, and time. We believe that the presented approach opens a way to design and prepare nanoscale materials with unique structural and functional properties using space-regulated electric fields.

Abstract
The controlled growth and alignment of one-dimensional organic nanostructures at well-defined locations considerably hinders the integration of nanostructures for electronic and optoelectronic applications. Here, we demonstrate a simple process to achieve the growth, alignment, and hierarchical patterning of organic nanowires on substrates with controlled patterns of surface wettability. The first-level pattern is confined by the substrate patterns of wettability. Organic nanostructures are preferentially grown on solvent wettable regions. The second-level pattern is the patterning of aligned organic nanowires deposited by controlling the shape and movement of the solution contact lines during evaporation on the wettable regions. This process is controlled by the cover-hat-controlled method or vertical evaportation method. Therefore, various new patterns of organic nanostructures can be obtained by combing these two levels of patterns. This simple method proves to be a general approach that can be applied to other organic nanostructure systems. Using the as-prepared patterned nanowire arrays, an optoelectronic device (photodetector) is easily fabricated. Hence, the proposed simple, large-scale, low-cost method of preparing patterns of highly ordered organic nanostructures has high potential applications in various electronic and optoelectronic devices.
