Ph.D. Thesis

Title From Supramolecular Chemistry to Nanotechnology: Assembly of 3D Nanostructures

Adviser

Essay The ability to assemble nanoparticles into well-defined and controllable ordered and stable crystals are the prerequisites for their potential application in photonic devices. This thesis integrates nanotechnology and supramolecular chemistry to control the self-assembly of receptor-functionalized nanoparticles. The aim is to use supramolecular recognition properties of the nanoparticles to generate stable and ordered 3D functional nanostructures. Firstly, the noncovalent host-guest complexation of β-cyclodextrin (CD) host molecules.....[full text; pdf file - 5.83MB]
