We report on an approach to fabricate nanoporous, functional membranes for encapsulation, delivery, and sensing by self-assembly of bionanoparticles. Here, we use horse spleen ferritin/HSF and cow pea mosaic virus/CPMV as building blocks for the desired materials. Fluid interfaces as found in oil-water emulsions serve as templates to guide the particle self-assembly, followed by crosslinking of the three-dimensional constructs. We studied the systems with respect to their self-assembly dynamics and the structures formed at the interface, using a pendant drop tensiometer. The nanometer-thin membranes formed after crosslinking the particle assembly, were characterized using TEM, FE-SEM and AFM force spectroscopy.
