Using Template-Synthesized Micro- and Nanowires as Building Blocks for Self-Assembly of Supramolecular Architectures

Abstract

Template-synthesized conductive polymer microwires and Au nanowires have been used as building blocks to self-assemble supramolecular architectures. In the conductive polymer case, biotin/streptavidin chemistry was used to self-assembly latex spheres onto the ends of the conductive polymer microwires. In the Au case, thiol chemistry was used to self-assemble colloidal Au nanoparticles onto the ends of the Au nanowires.
