Description
This project investigates a novel ionic current rectification phenomenon created by the opening and closing of nanopores by charged silica nanoparticles under electroosmotic flow. This voltage-controlled opening and closing of the pores can be exploited to allow delivery of nicotine through the pores at programmable intervals.
