1.1 Background In his historic review titled “Polymerization” in Chemical Reviews of 1931,
Wallace H. Carothers described his brilliant ideas about the rapidly developing field of …

1.1 Background Dendrimers and dendrons are architectural motifs synthesized by either
divergent or convergent iterative methods, and therefore, they provide monodisperse …

The possibility to change the molecular assembled structures of organic and organometallic
materials through mechanical stimulation is emerging as a general and powerful concept for …

Compartmentalization is ubiquitous to many biological and artificial systems, be it for the
separate storage of incompatible matter or to isolate transport processes. Advancements in …

Despite recent advances in synthetic nanometer-scale tubular assembly, conferral of
dynamic response characteristics to the tubules remains a challenge. Here, we report on …

During the past decade, supramolecular nanostructures produced via self-assembly
processes have received considerable attention because these structures can lead to …

Dendritic molecules are an exciting research topic because of their highly branched
architecture, multiple functional groups on the periphery, and very pertinent features for …

Abstract π‐Conjugated molecules are interesting components to prepare fluorescent
nanoparticles. From the use of polymer chains that form small aggregates in water to the self …

Block copolymers self-assemble into a variety of nanostructures that are relevant for science
and technology. While the assembly of diblock copolymers is largely understood, predicting …

Self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) has been developed as a promising approach for
constructing photonic crystal (PC) microspheres for dynamic optical modulation. However …
