摘要
This paper serves as an introductory review of significant and novel successes achieved in the fields of nanotechnology, particularly in the formation of nanostructures using guided molecular self-assembly methods. Self-assembly is a spontaneous process by which molecules and nanophase entities may materialize into organized aggregates or networks. Through various interactive mechanisms of self-assembly, such as electrostatics, chemistry, surface properties, and via other mediating agents, the technique proves indispensable to recent functional materials and device realizations. The discussion will extend to spontaneous and Langmuir-Blodgett formation of self-assembled monolayers on various substrates, and a number of different categories of self-assembly techniques based on the type of interaction exploited. Combinatorial techniques, known as soft lithography, of micro-contact printing and dip-pen nanolithography, which can be effectively used to up-size nanostructured molecular assemblies to submicrometer and micrometer scale patterns, will also be mentioned.
