Organic Electronics by Self-Assembly
… the main part of this thesis focusing on n type self assembled monolayer field-effect transistors (SAMFETs). It is known that approximately 90% of charge transport in field-effect transistors is managed just by an ultra-thin layer close to the dielectric. Due to the absence of bulk current, …

Self-Assembly, Templation and Biomimetics
Self-assembly, templation and biomimetics are three important, overlapping areas in supramolecularChemistry. Some contributions to these three areas are introduced. Novel substituted trispyridylmethanol derived ligands were synthesized to mimic the active site of carbonic anhydrase. The key …

Self-assembly of anisotropic colloids
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2025-10-20 without embargo terms

Self-assembly of biological heteropolymers
In this thesis, we are primarily concerned with understanding the complicated geometrical and topological structures that polymers can adopt. We first consider this in the context of chromatin, the polymer of DNA and associated proteins. Our experiments and coarse-grained modeling suggest that …

Computer simulation of micelle self-assembly.
… and double amphiphile model to study the self-assembly of micelles. Analysis of the results from these simulations shows that the models exhibit a critical micelle concentration together with cluster size distributions consistent with experiment and theory. Simulations of the single …

Multi-frequency Ultrasound Directed Self-assembly
Ultrasound directed self-assembly (DSA) relies on the acoustic radiation force associated with a standing ultrasound wave to organize particles dispersed in a fluid medium into specific patterns. State-of-the-art ultrasound DSA methods can only organize particles into (quasi-)periodic patterns, …

Self -Assembly Between Biomacromolecules and Lipids
Anionic DNA and cationic lipsomes can self-assemble into a multi-lamellar structure where two-dimensional (2-D) lipid sheets confine a periodic one-dimensional (1-D) lattice of parallel DNA chains, between which Cd2+ ions can condense, and be subsequently reacted with H 2S to template CdS nanorods …

Self-Assembly of Functional Helical Metallopolymers
Self-assembled metal-organic materials have been championed as candidates for the next generation of functional materials. This has been attributed to their ‘bottom-up’ design and preparation, error-checking mechanisms, chemical tuneability, and novel functionality arising from the metal centres. …

Solder self-assembly for MEMS fabrication
This thesis examines and demonstrates self-assembly of MEMS components on the 25 micron scale onto substrates using the capillary force of solder. This is an order of magnitude smaller than current solder self-assembly in the literature. This thesis also examines self-assembly of high aspect ratio …

Multicellular self-assembly on patterned surfaces
… distribution of cells. This approach relies on a self-assembly process that is dependent, in part, on the intrinsic adhesivity of cells. A model system was developed using a simple patterning technique to prepare surfaces with alternating regions that supported variable cell response. First, the …

Templated self-assembly of multiferroic nanocomposites
… many other. In this this thesis, we focus on self-assembled oxide nanocomposites, which elegantly organize into vertical nanostructures via spontaneous phase-separation, naturally forming numerous such heterointerfaces. These provide a rich playground for studying interfacial effects, which …

Computation by block copolymer self-assembly
… In this thesis, we use block copolymer self-assembly, a well-studied phenomenon in polymer science, to develop a new approach to computing by applying directed self-assembly to implement Ising-model-based computing systems in materials. In the first part of the thesis, we investigate …

Self-Assembly of Large Amyloid Fibers
… adder' cooperative mechanism for the spontaneous self-assembly of micrometer sized amyloid fibers. A short hydrophobic template peptide induces a conformation change within a highly α-helical adder protein to form β-sheets that continue to assemble into micrometer sized amyloid fibers. This study …

Engineering protein self-assembly for biosensing applications
Protein self-assembly is a promising bottom-up approach to create biological materials with programmable functionalities, particularly for biotechnological applications. This approach leverages engineering recombinant protein building blocks, derived from natural or artificially designed proteins, …
