Abstract

Pore channels of poly-carbonate membranes were recently used as biomimetic models to study the effect of confinement on silicate condensation, leading to the formation of silica tubes exhibiting a core-shell structure. In this work, we pre-immobilized lysozyme on the membrane pores, inducing the modification of the tube shell formation process, and variation in core particle size. These data strengthen previous assumptions on the role of interfacial interactions on the growth of the tube shell and indicate that such interactions also influence the core particle formation. Such approach therefore seems suitable to mimic the formation of silica/protein multilayers as found in several biomineralizing organisms
