Mesostructure Assembly In Two Dimensions

Two-dimensional mesoporous materials (2DMMs) refer to thin two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets with randomly dispersed or ordered mesopores, which can combine the advantages of 2D materials and mesoporous materials while overcoming their inherent drawbacks, leading to enhanced application performance. A self-assembly strategy has been recognized as a promising manufacturing method for 2DMMs with customized performance. Over the past decades, encouraging progress has been made in the development of 2DMMs via the self-assembly strategy with a variety of compositions, morphologies, mesoporous structures, and pore sizes. Here, we provide a comprehensive review on recent progress in the fabrication of 2DMMs through this strategy, focusing on the synthesis methods, including molecular self-assembly methods, single micelle assembly methods, multi-templates methods, surface-limited co-assembly methods, and template-free methods. In addition, we set out the challenges faced by 2DMMs in future research and point out potential development directions.

This work sought to develop chemical components and self-assembly techniques for molecular electronic circuits. Specific objectives were to use membrane replication methods to make segmented metal and semiconductor rod colloids, and to develop techniques for assembling them into cross-point arrays for functional circuits. The major accomplishments were demonstration of nanowire synthesis down to diameters of 12 nm with aspect ratios exceeding 100, development of an electrofluidic technique for aligning and measuring the electronic conductivity of individual wires, and development of chemical control over the assembly of nanowires. The latter involved orthogonal self- assembly of molecules onto electrochemically defined V stripes' along the wire length. Using DNA base pairing, suitably striped wires could be assembled into cross- and T- junctions, and onto lithographically defined patterns on surfaces. Methods were developed for layer-by-layer growth of concentric shells of insulators and conducting polymers on the nanowire walls. This allows the crossing of insulated wires without shorts and crossing of functionalized wires for memory or logic function. Fluidic techniques were developed for making 2-D arrays of nanowires assemble into ordered rafts in microwells. Together these advances provide potentially useful materials and techniques for the realization of very dense (more than 10 billion devices per square centimeter) self-assembled electronic circuits.

Shells are basic structural elements of modern technology and everyday life. Examples of shell structures in technology include automobile bodies, water and oil tanks, pipelines, silos, wind turbine towers, and nanotubes. Nature is full of living shells such as leaves of trees, blooming flowers, seashells, cell membranes or wings of insects. In the human body arteries, the eye shell, the diaphragm, the skin and the pericardium are all shells as well. Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 4 contains 132 contributions presented at the 11th Conference on Shell Structures: Theory and Applications (Gdansk, Poland, 11-13 October 2017). The papers reflect a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems from theoretical modelling through strength, stability and dynamic behaviour, numerical analyses, biomechanic applications up to engineering design of shell structures. Shell Structures: Theory and Applications, Volume 4 will be of interest to academics, researchers, designers and engineers dealing with modelling and analyses of shell structures. It may also provide supplementary reading to graduate students in Civil, Mechanical, Naval and Aerospace Engineering.

Focusing on both academic questions and applications of self-assembly of this extremely important class of compounds, this book discusses not only the self-organization of inorganic and magnetic nanocrystals, but also their collective optical and magnetic properties, as well as the in-situ fabrication of metal nanoparticles in solid matrices. Professor Marie-Paule Pileni, a distinguished leader in this field, is joined by a select group of expert authors to provide 14 chapters covering important aspects of self-assembled nanomaterials. The result is invaluable reading for inorganic and physical chemists, colloid chemists, polymer chemists, materials scientists, physicists, and chemical engineers working with and/or developing nanoparticle systems.

This book introduces the fascinating world of self-assembly in mesoporous ordered silica films. Beginning from a single droplet, it guides the reader, in a step-by-step learning process, how to obtain and control ordered porous mesophases in thin films by varying only the precursor chemistry and the process. It explains, in great detail, how order control is achieved through chemical design and post-deposition processing, the latter of which is a unique property in materials science. The book places a special focus on silica, whose particularly complex chemistry enables order control over a range of different length scales. This book is suitable for students and researchers in the fields of sol-gel or colloidal chemistry and interested in the topics of self-assembly and mesoporous phases.
