Increasingly chemists are contributing to the synthesis of advanced materials with enhanced or novel properties by using colloidal assemblies as templates. Colloid chemistry is particularly well suited to this objective since nanoparticles, by definition, are colloidal and since processing of advanced materials involve reactions at solid-solid, solid-liquid or solid-gas interfaces (3-5).
