Summary:

Now that we can create nanoparticles in a wide variety of shapes and morphologies, comes the next challenge: finding ways to organize this collection of particles into larger and more complex systems.

Nanoparticle Assemblies and Superstructures, edited by pioneer of nanoparticle self-organization Nicholas A. Kotov, employs three critical questions to provide a framework of open-ended inquiry: 1. What are the methods of organization of nanocolloids in more complex structures? 2. What kind of structures do we need? 3. What new properties emerge in nanocolloid superstructures?

Calling upon an outstanding collection of contributors, Kotov presents what he calls a snapshot of nanoassembly work in progress. The first chapters provide background through a consideration of the current status of nanoparticle assembly development and the requirements for different applications of organized nanomaterials. Middle chapters explore the changes that occur in various properties of individual particles when they are brought together to form agglomerates and simple assemblies. The final chapters cover various methods for organizing particles in complex nanostructured superstructures. These include techniques involving biological ligands and force fields, as well as methods based on self-organization.

This prescient text upholds Kotov's belief that the research on nanoparticle self-organization will most certainly uncover a wealth of "interesting discoveries and surprising phenomena."
