Abstract

Today, people are exposed to a wide variety of different airborne pollutants such as PM2.5 and pollen. It is expected that novel materials will be developed to avoid their adhesion. The roughness at the interface is very important for the adhesion between such pollutants and a substrate. In this study, we have focused on self-assembling fibers formed from an amphiphilic peptide, palmitoyl-glycine-histidine (Pal-GH). The self-assembled fibers of Pal-GH formed a rough membrane and showed very effective anti-pollution effects against pollen and PM2.5.
