A natural question is whether this behavior still holds at nanoscale. Based on molecular-dynamics simulations and analytical modeling for graphene and boron nitride membranes confined inside carbon nanotubes, we show that the class of universality observed at macroscale is violated at nanoscale. The precise origin of these discrepancies is addressed and proven to be related to both surface and atomistic effects.

The mechanical response depended on the number of deposited layers and was explained semi-quantitatively with a fully atomistic model, where the LbL film was represented as superposing layers of hexagonal graphene-like atomic arrangements deposited on a stiffer substrate. The bending with no direct current or voltage being applied to a supramolecular structure containing biocompatible and antimicrobial materials represents a proof-of-principle experiment that is promising for tissue engineering applications in biomedicine. - See more at: http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/14/7/12953/htm#sthash.cSUOvaot.dpuf},
