| Abstract |
Self-assembly through supramolecular templates is an advanced process for preparing thin films
with ordered mesostructure and tuned pore arrays; the overall process is a combination of sol-gel
and supramolecular chemistry, while the organization is driven by solvent evaporation. Controlling
of the process allows obtaining a nanomaterial whose ordered and open porosity can be exploited
for applications in different fields. In the article we give a general overview of self-assembly during
thin films deposition from a liquid phase and we present some possible fields of applications. |
