Patchy nanoparticles with surface complexity for directed self-assembly MRS Bull. (IF 5.0) Pub Date : 2024-03-15
Abstract Patchy nanoparticles (PNPs) possess anisotropic surfaces that produce emergent directionalities in interactions. Manipulation of such surface complexities offers a powerful handle for control over interparticle spatial and orientational orderings, making PNPs an ideal class of nanoscale synthons for self-assembly. However, realization of PNPs with defined patch positions and geometries faces

New frontiers in supramolecular design of materials MRS Bull. (IF 5.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-28
Abstract The powerful functions of materials in the living world utilize supramolecular systems in which molecules self-assemble through noncovalent connections programmed by their structures. This process is of course also programmed by the nature of the chemical environment in which the structures form introducing the potential to autonomously use external energy inputs partly derived from fuel molecules
