Summary:

"Colloidal self-assembly has the potential to revolutionize the way we engineer and develop novel materials. Thanks to a paradigm shift in recent years, colloidal building blocks with increasingly complex shapes and functionalities are opening up new avenues in bottom-up material design. Self-assembly of Nano- and Microstructured Materials Using Colloidal Engineering covers the recent breakthroughs in the design and manufacture of functional colloids at the micro- and nanoscale level, and analyzes how these functionalities can be exploited to develop self-assembly pathways toward nano- and microstructured materials. As we are seeking increasingly complex functions for colloidal superstructures, in silico design has a critical role to play to guide experimental fabrication by reducing the element of trial and error that would be involved otherwise in the synthetic routes."--From back cover.
