Colloidal clusters have received considerable attention in recent years in the context of the fabrication of “colloidal molecules”, mimicking the symmetry of molecular structures, as well as for the self-assembly of finite supracolloidal structures, especially from anisotropic colloidal particles. Here we review recent studies on clusters of anisotropic colloidal particles, highlighting certain classes of supracolloidal structures that have emerged as recurrent themes in these studies. We emphasize the interplay of colloidal interactions, often arising from the presence of one or more anisotropy attributes, which drives the self-assembly into finite supracolloidal structures.

近年来，在“胶体分子”的制造，模仿分子结构的对称性以及有限的超胶体结构（尤其是各向异性胶体颗粒）的自组装方面，胶体簇受到了相当大的关注。在这里，我们回顾了对各向异性胶体粒子簇的最新研究，重点介绍了作为这类研究中经常出现的主题的某些类胶体上结构。我们强调胶体相互作用的相互作用，通常是由于一种或多种各向异性属性的存在而引起的，该属性将自组装驱动为有限的胶体上结构。
