Category: Self Assembly
Self-assembly is the ordered arrangement of molecules onto a surface, through intermolecular or intramolecular bonding, with little or no assistance from external forces. The following papers discuss the use of self-assembly to fabricate functional films and patterned surfaces for various applications.
