Self-Assembly of Organic Nano-Objects into Functional Materials

One of the goals of contemporary science is the atomic or molecular design of materials in order to achieve specific properties. There is special interest in imitating with these designed materials the remarkable integrated functionality we see in biology. Soft matter offers a particularly good opportunity to realize these goals because of the vast structural space offered by organic systems.
