Terminology for Aggregation and Self-Assembly in Polymer Science (IUPAC Recommendations 2013)

Richard G. Jones, et al.

Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2013

Vol. 85, No. 2, pp. 463–492

In the past, aggregation and self-assembly have been associated principally with micellar and colloidal systems of molecules; however, with the advent of supramolecular chemistry, molecular self-assembly has been opened to a much wider understanding that has facilitated access to a variety of different shapes and sizes, along with the construction of new and fascinating molecular topologies. This document aims at defining more than 150 terms related to aggregation and self-assembly in the particular case of macromolecules. The list is restricted to the most commonly encountered terms.
