Self-assembly of nanoparticles: Toward to biological functions, inorganic viruses, and microscale electronic components

摘要

This article presented results on experiments conducted for processes on nanoscale materials such as CdTe, CdS, CdSe, Te, Se, ZnO, and other related materials. The challenges and opportunities opening for complex 3D assemblies exhibiting dynamic and chiral behavior will be highlighted in the pathway toward replication of biological functions of proteins, (sub)microscale stand-alone sensing devices/components, and new optoelectronic materials. The possibility of hybrid self-organized bio-inorganic materials with dynamic restructuring and their applications for environmental sensing of toxins in aqueous environment will be demonstrated.
