In this paper we outline a new direction in the area of photonic crystals (PCs), or photonic
band gap materials, ie one-, two-, or three-dimensional superstructures with periods that are …

Electrostatic forces are amongst the most versatile interactions to mediate the assembly of
nanostructured materials. Depending on experimental conditions, these forces can be long …

Engineered two-phase microfluidic systems have recently shown promise for computation,
encryption, and biological processing. For many of these systems, complex control of …

The design and fabrication techniques for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and
nanodevices are progressing rapidly. However, due to material and process flow …

The rapid, controlled formation of thick brushes (up to 125 nm thick) from self‐assembled
monolayer‐bound initiators under mild conditions using aqueous solutions is demonstrated …

A variety of methods have been successfully used to produce crystals of colloidal particles
made of polymeric (or silica) microspheres. Achieving highly accurate growth and control of …

This article gives an overview of recent progress in template-directed colloidal self-
assembly. We first highlight colloidal crystallization and clustering guided by using …

We review recent work on active colloids at interfaces, including self-propelled colloids that
move by generating a propulsive force, and driven colloids that move under external fields …

The series Advances in Polymer Science presents critical reviews of the present and future
trends in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics …
