Abstract

Chemical structure Self organization Hydrophobicity Hydrophilicity Genetics
This paper demonstrates templated self-assemblybased on capillary forcesof millimeter-scale poly(dimethylsiloxane) plates suspended at the water−perfluorodecalin interface. The system described abstracts the concept of “templating” from molecular templating and uses it to design millimeter-scale aggregates that self-assemble in ordered structures. This work points the way to new strategies for organizing complex, millimeter-scale structures.
