Abstract

Nanotechnology: surface patterns to order Nanotechnologists generally turn to one of two methods when engineering a pattern onto a surface: supramolecular self-assembly of molecules into hydrogen-bonded surface networks, or the deposition of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Supramolecular assembly is attractive because it yields patterns that are exactly defined at the nanometre scale, whereas self-assembly offers unprecedented flexibility for creating functionalized surfaces. Madueno et al. have now harnessed the advantages of both methods, by first creating self-assembled surface networks and then depositing SAMs into the network pores. The approach is expected to serve as a versatile platform for the production of a wide range of tailored surface structures.
