This book provides a thorough exploration of both experimental and theoretical aspects of bottom-up nanofabrication. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including:
Supramolecular structures, such as rotaxanes, catenanes, dendrimers, molecular capsules, molecular grids, biologically derived supermolecules, structurally defined polymers, molecular recognition systems, and chemical sensing mechanisms.
Self-assembled systems, covering lipid-based assemblies, hydrogen-bonded crystals, low-molecular-weight gels, and assemblies of biomolecules like DNA, proteins, enzymes, peptides, and oligosaccharides. It also includes carbon-based nanomaterials (e.g., fullerenes and carbon nanotubes), self-assembled fibers and tubes, porphyrin arrays, phthalocyanines, organic-inorganic hybrids, nanocomposites, inorganic and colloidal assemblies, polymer self-assemblies, biomineralization processes, microstructures, and dynamic dissipative systems.
Organized thin films, such as self-assembled monolayers, Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films, layer-by-layer assembled structures, nanoparticle layers, lipid bilayers, biomaterial-based films, cast films, liquid crystals, polymer thin films, functional interfaces, and nanoscale patterning techniques like dip-pen nanolithography.
