3 – Conclusion<br />
We observe a well-defined growth <strong>of</strong> Au nanoparticles on the curved fiber surface. Starting from nucleation,<br />
the Au nanoparticles self-assemble to nm-sized clusters. Finally a coalescent layer occurs on the bi<strong>of</strong>iber<br />
surface. One future application <strong>of</strong> this nanocomposite material might indeed be as plasmonic waveguides<br />
based on a highly flexible substrate.<br />

1 – Introduction<br />
Energetic materials (EMs) are substances that store chemical energy which can be released under a stimulus.<br />
They can be used in many applications such as military, health, spatial… In this context, Al/CuO couple is<br />
interesting because <strong>of</strong> its high potential energy and compatibility with MEMS technologies. At the<br />
nanoscale, the performances <strong>of</strong> these materials increase significantly but are difficult to control, thus, a<br />
bottom-up approach through DNA directed Al and CuO nanoparticles self assembly is a good way to realize<br />
multifunctional nanoenergetic materials with controlled formulation.<br />
2 – Abstract<br />
In this work, the ability to create crystalline aggregates <strong>of</strong> Al and CuO nanoparticles (nAl and nCuO) from<br />
the bottom up is studied. Several nAl and nCuO functionalization strategies are investigated in order to<br />
connect modified single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligomers on surface: Thiol affinity, biotin-streptavidin<br />
binding and amide link. Nanoparticles are then assembled using hybridization between ssDNA grafted on<br />
their surface, thus, small aggregates <strong>of</strong> nAl and nCuO are achieved.<br />
The controlled self assembly <strong>of</strong> nanoparticles will allow us to study with accuracy the effect <strong>of</strong><br />
nanoenergetic materials formulation on performances: ignition point, stability, energy...<br />
3 – Conclusion<br />
Al and CuO nanoparticles aggregates realized through DNA directed nanoparticles self assembly will be<br />
presented. Next step is a first step toward nanoenergetic materials with well defined properties and their<br />
integration in future MEMS devices.<br />
