COVER STORY
Self-Assembly Creating Novel Functional Nanomaterials
Self-organization are interesting phenomena commonly observed in nature. In particular, molecular self-assembly with specific structures has attracted a great deal of attention because it could provide emergent functionalities such as lipid membranes and liquid crystals. Recently, sizes of components for self-assembly are extended. In this issue, latest research on the creation of nanomaterials with specific structures via controlled self-assembly of various sized components from small molecules to polymers and particles are introduced.
