Nanofibers organic/inorganic, self-assembly

Supramoleciflar directed self-assembly of inorganic and inorganic-organic hybrid nanostructures has emerged as an active area of recent research. The recent advance shows a remarkable feasibihty to mimic natoal mineralization systems by a designed artificial organic template, where a supramolecular functional polymer can be directly employed as minerahzation template for the synthesis of novel inorganic nanoarchitectures [165] such as CdS helices [166] and hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanofibers [167].
