Structure Formation by Dynamic Self‐Assembly

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This review summarizes the work conducted in the last decade on the fabrication of mesostructured patterns, which have lateral dimensions within the nano- and microscales, over a wafer-scaled size by means of dynamic self-assembly using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) transfer or dip-coating. First, strategies to form mesostructures from a homogeneous Langmuir monolayer with controlled shape, size, and patterns alignment will be presented, followed by a detailed theoretical explanation of the pattern formation. In addition, the patterning of nanocrystals and other chemicals with LB transfer or other dynamic processes, such as dip-coating, will be summarized.
