Template-guided self-assembly
ID: template-guided-self-assembly
Template-guided self-assembly is a process in materials science and nanotechnology where structured templates are used to direct the arrangement of smaller components into desired patterns or architectures. This technique leverages the principles of self-assembly, where molecules or nanoparticles spontaneously organize themselves into structured arrangements driven by non-covalent interactions (like van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, or electrostatic interactions).
