Functional Nanomaterials Based on Dendronized Nanoparticules

摘要

1.Introduction The nanotechnology revolution shall probably not occur without the prior emergence of reliable self-assembling techniques.It is quite clear today that in spite of their incredible progress, top-down technologies and lithographic techniques are getting close to their limits.With the promise of lower cost, self-assembling techniques stand unrivaled, the mere existence of self-assemblod living creatures being an obvious proof of their ultimate efficiency.Moreover, as space is no longer a problem in nanoscale devices, such systems can have an inherent potentially high reproducibility making them much less sensitive to damage or fabrication errors than the present ones.On the other hand,liquid crystals are the arch example of self-organizing nano-objects.The rules governing the appearance and stability domain of the various phases are now well understood, and the fluid nature of their mesophases makes these materials intrinsically defect tolerant.
