Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Rational design of 2D materials is crucial for the realization of their profound implications in
energy and environmental fields. The past decade has witnessed significant developments …

The thin‐film directed self‐assembly of molecular building blocks into oriented nanostructure
arrays enables next‐generation lithography at the sub‐5 nm scale. Currently, the fabrication …

A novel route to cross-linked and functionalized random copolymers using a rapid, one-step,
and orthogonal copolymer cross-linking/functionalization strategy has been developed …

The solution-phase self-assembly or “polymerization” of discrete colloidal building blocks,
such as “patchy” nanoparticles and multicompartment micelles, is attracting growing …

The formation of nanoscaled objects often relies on the two-dimensional self-assembly of
organic molecules on solid substrates, leading to a number of interesting structures with …

The creation of matter with varying degrees of complexities and desired functions is one of
the ultimate targets of self-assembly. The ability to regulate the complex interactions …

Conspectus Supramolecular self-assembly, which creates the ordered structures as a result
of spontaneous organization of building blocks driven by noncovalent interactions (NCIs), is …

Conspectus The term architectonics has its roots in the architectural and philosophical (as
early as 1600s) literature that refers to “the theory of structure” and “the structure of theory” …

Self-assembly is undoubtedly a topic of special interest in current chemistry and is related to
very wide scientific areas. Recent progress in this field seems to be featured by the …
