The development of mesoscopic supramolecular architectures is an area of growing interest. The field has grown from early works on bilayer membranes, and the design of large (super- or giant-) amphiphiles, hybrid amphiphiles and supramolecular membranes have now been described. Impartment of amphiphilicity to a unit supermolecule allows their hierarchical self-assembly to the mesoscopic structures. A supramolecular combinatorial approach is useful in the development of functional self-assemblies. In addition, self-assembly in ionic liquids has been introduced as a promising area in materials chemistry.

自组装的介观尺寸和人造超分子膜。

介观超分子体系结构的发展是人们越来越感兴趣的领域。该领域从双层膜的早期工作发展而来，现在已经描述了大（超或超）两亲物，混合两亲物和超分子膜的设计。将两亲性赋予单元超分子使它们的分层自组装成为介观结构。超分子组合方法可用于功能性自组装的开发。另外，在离子液体中的自组装已被引入作为材料化学中的有前途的领域。
