Anisotropic Particle Assemblies: Synthesis, Assembly, Modeling, and Applications

Anisotropic Particle Assemblies: Synthesis, Assembly, Modeling, and Applications covers the synthesis, assembly, modeling and applications of various types of anisotropic particles. Topics such as chemical synthesis and scalable fabrication of colloidal molecules, molecular mimetic self-assembly, directed assembly under external fields, theoretical and numerical modeling, anisotropic materials with novel interfacial properties, metamaterials with unusual optical properties and their applications in renewable energy, intelligent micro-machines and biomedical fields are discussed. The contributors to this book are internationally known experts who have been actively studying each of these subfields for many years. As evident from the broad topics that the book covers and the quality of the scholarly work done by the contributors, this book is an invaluable reference for researchers and chemical engineers who are working at the intersection of physics, chemistry and chemical engineering. This book educates students, trains the next generation of researchers and stimulates continuous development in this rapidly emerging area for new materials and innovative technologies.
