Self-assembled Materials

  • Reference work entry

Definition of the Subject

The concept of self‐assembly is today highly popular and frequently used to describe a wide range of phenomena. It is also a conceptthat has a possibility to change the way we produce various types of materials [1]. Self‐assembly can broadly speaking be defined as a process with the followingfeatures [2], where: (i) it involves pre‐existing components, i. e. the components arenot formed by the reaction itself. (ii) the process should be reversible to some extent. (iii) it can be controlled by design.

The supramolecular chemistry approach, pioneered by Jean-Marie Lehn [3], where molecularrecognition is used to assemble supramolecular materials is clearly an important starting point for much of this work. The pre‐existing componentsare usually molecules, amphiphilic species, or oligomeric or polymeric species. However, self‐assembly can also be observed on larger length scalesinvolving e. g. nanoparticles (superlattices) and larger colloidal particles...
