Nanoarchitectonics of molecular aggregates: science and technology

J Nanosci Nanotechnol. 2014 Jan;14(1):390-401. doi: 10.1166/jnn.2014.8766.

Abstract

The field of making, studying and using molecular aggregates, in which the individual molecules (monomers) are arranged in a regular fashion, has come a long way. Taking control over the aggregation of small molecules and polymers in bulk, on surfaces and at interfaces pose a considerable challenge for their utilization in modern high tech applications. In this review, we provide a detailed insight into recent trends in molecular aggregates from the perspectives of nanoarchitectonics.
