Fast Neutron Irradiation of Eumelanin
Abstract: The implementation of organic interfaces for electrical stimulation of cell-tissue constructs is a central goal in the rapidly expanding fields of bioelectronics and nanomedicine. Among the various Nature-inspired materials that hold promise for the design of bioelectronic interfaces, eumelanins, the black insoluble photoprotective biopolymers of human skin and eyes, occupy a prominent position. Both natural and synthetic eumelanins display peculiar optoelectronic properties, which are exemplified in a water-dependent semiconductor-like behavior, 2,10,11 broad band absorption, permanent paramagnetism. On this base, we plan to address eumelanin thin film properties after neutron irradiation, in order to investigate potential (expected) electro mutability increase.
