From Precision Colloidal Hybrid Materials to Advanced Functional Assemblies
May 30, 2023
The concept of colloids encompasses a wide range
of isotropic and anisotropic particles with diverse sizes, shapes, and
functions from synthetic nanoparticles, nanorods, and nanosheets to
functional biological units. They are addressed in materials science for
various functions, while they are ubiquitous in the biological world for
multiple functions. A large variety of synthetic colloids have been
researched due to their scientific and technological importance; still
they characteristically suffer from finite size distributions, imperfect
shapes and interactions, and not fully engineered functions. This
contrasts with biological colloids that offer precision in their size,
shape, and functionality.
Welcome message from author
Materials science has searched for inspiration from the biological world to allow structural control by self-assembly and hierarchy and to identify novel routes for combinations of functions in bio-inspiration
