English: Robocolith hybrids combining polydopamine and coccoliths
Combination of polydopamine and coccoliths allows design of Robocolith hybrids. EHUX coccolithophores are cultivated for isolation of coccoliths. When coccoliths (asymmetric morphology) are exposed to light, no collective motion is observed. Coccoliths are then mixed gently with dopamine solutions. Thus, polydopamine-coated coccoliths hybrids are obtained as a basis for design of Robocoliths. Light excitation and the asymmetry of Robocoliths generates a thermal flux of heat because of polydopamine’s photothermal properties. Coupling of convection from neighboring Robocoliths transforms their movement into an aggregated collective motion. Robocolith functionalization is also proposed to prevent and control nonspecific attachment of biomacromolecules and possible diminution of the aggregation.
