IRG II: Hierarchically Assembled Molecular and Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Materials @ University of Chicago
Research Fields: | Nano Focused | Nanostructures / Nanoparticles | Polymers |
IRG 2 designs and implements strategies for Hierarchically Assembled Molecular Materials, composed of molecular assemblies on surfaces that express novel function. Three synergistic themes develop functional organic and inorganic elements as well as general routes for their proximal assembly, leading to the creation of novel hierarchical materials with tailored chemical activity or, for more physical objectives, enhanced electronic, optical, or magnetic response. A new direction explores the self-assembly and electronic properties of self-assembled nanocrystal superlattices.
