Bottom-up approaches for material and device designing using practical aspects of self-assembled molecular architectures

Abstract

Self-assembly is an ordered form of spontaneous molecular organization via specific inter- or intramolecular interactions. Self-assembled molecular architectures are ubiquitous in biological systems and exhibit specific functions. These unique characteristics are of significant interest for technological platforms in material and device design. More recently, this technology has made considerable progress in furthering the fields of biosensors, optoelectronic devices, and actuators. This review focuses on the practical aspects of dynamic properties in self-assembled molecular architectures such as motion, shape change, photonic efficiency, and mass transport, discusses the current challenges in the field, and suggests future scope and direction in bottom-up design of materials and devices by demonstration of specific cases.
