Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-
sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are …

Atoms serve as an inspiration for colloidal self-assembly, whereby building blocks can
combine and confer endless functionality using a few design principles, including …

This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Janus materials with anisotropy shapes and chemical compositions, including Janus
particles, Janus nanosheets, and Janus membranes, have a great significance in the …

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in synthetic and biological systems, broadly defined
as the spontaneous organization of multiple subunits (macromolecules, particles, etc.) into …

Colloidal self-assembly is a promising bottom-up route to a wide variety of three-
dimensional structures, from clusters to crystals. Programming hierarchical self-assembly of …

The ability to construct discrete colloidal clusters (CCs) as complex as molecular clusters is
limited due to the lack of available colloidal building blocks and specific directional bonds …

Soft and responsive colloids based on polymer hydrogels have moved into the focus of the
colloid community. This review gives a brief overview of the recent literature on the structure …

Current advancements in the creation of anisotropy in particles and their surface
modification with polymer brushes have established a new class of hybrid materials termed …

Self‐assembly fundamentally implies the organization of small sub‐units into large
structures or patterns without the intervention of specific local interactions. This process is …
