12. Directing the Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles for Advanced Materials
-
Serene S. Bayram
Abstract
In this chapter, we present an overview of different methods and techniques used for directing the self-assembly of nanoparticles. For exploiting nanoparticle selfassembly in technological applications, both a high level of direction and control as well as an extended assembly size are required to guarantee an efficient scaleup. We focus on tools used for controlling the interparticle forces responsible for triggering self-assembly, outlining both templated and non-templated assembly techniques, including the most common templates used for guiding nanoparticles, as well as externally imposed directing fields that enhance the inherent thermodynamic forces driving the self-assembly process. In addition, we discuss interfacial or surface tension effects that direct the assembly at interfaces or in thin films. Internal and external self-assembly methods are distinguished, where the former relies on modulating the intrinsic properties of the nanoparticles and the latter employs extrinsic fields and forces to guide the assembly. Finally, we also review the application of rod-shaped and sphere-like viruses in organizing molecules and nanoparticles.
