Exchange of knowledge between biological, chemical, physical and material sciences has driven an emerging trend of multidiscriplinary reseach and the production of hybrid materials. In recent years, virus capsid have been used as biotemplates for novel nanomaterials due to their appropriate sizes, homogeneity, robustness, high yield of production and ability of disassembly and reassembly. Nano-objects can be encapsulated into the inner cavity or arranged on the outer surface of the virus. Focusing on Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV), a plant virus, this PhD work aims to develop nano-bio-hybrid materials. TYMV possess a rigid capsid, which can undergo extreme experimental conditions, so it can be served as a robust container for nanomaterials. Besides, the highly symmetric structure of this icosahedral protein shell can become a scaffold for organization of nanoparticles. This study introduces the fabrication of several kinds of TYMV-based materials and their characterizations. We also suggest some applications of the newly synthesized hybrid materials.
