Nanoparticle Controllable Assembly

Nanoparticle controllable assembly refers to the assembly of nanoparticles into controlled nanostructures (wires, rods, belts, rings, tubes, thin films, superlattices, and sophisticated 3D nanostructures) via interactions like electrostatic interaction, covalent interaction, metal-Ugand interaction, etc.
