Self-assembled organic-inorganic

The stepwise construction of self-assembled organic/inorganic multilayers based on multivalent supramolecular interactions between guest-functionalized dendrimers and nanoparticles and host-modified gold nanoparticles has been developed, yielding supramolecular LbL assembly (Fig. 13.8).12 Multilayer thin films composed of...

Different types of nanotubes built of self-assembled organic molecules have been discussed in Section 4.2.4. Inorganic nanotubes, for instance, built of vanadium oxide [53] are also known [54].

Despite these difficulties, mesoscale self-assembly of inorganic materials holds promise. In fact, it is believed that the importance of self-assembly in the manufacturing of electronics, photonics, optics, and robotics mesoscale components could conceivably supersede its importance in the molecular and nanoscale sciences. Some hybrid organic—inorganic systems have attracted attention because... 

Dynamic self-assembly of supramolecular systems prepared under thermodynamic control may in principle be connected to a kinetically controlled sol-gel process in order to extract and select the interpenetrated hybrid networks. Such dynamic convergence between supramolecular self-assembly and inorganic sol— gel processes, which synergistically communicate, leads to higher self-organized hybrid materials with increased micrometric scales. 

The strategy of self-assembly could be applied to open up developments in molecular-based nanomaterials. We believe that the combination of ionic liquids and biomolecules, organic molecular self-assemblies and inorganic nanomaterials, can lead to new dimensions in materials science.

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].
