Controlled Self-assembly and Materials Engineering in Flow
For chemists and material scientists the self-assembly process into intricate and functional structures is commonly studied via chemically “encoding” the constituent units, ie changing functional groups and/or reactivity of the forming moieties, or employing advanced processing methods. However, even though there are many reported studies showing the successful assembly of functional man-engineered structures, there is a constant need to explore new technologies that can aid in controlling self-assembly, regardless of the molecular units employed. In this context, diffusion-control microfluidic methods will be introduced in this seminar as a top-down strategy to ease the design of self-assembly structures and to manipulate self-assembled processes in time and space.
