Bottom‐Up Assembly of Micro/Nanostructures

Stimuli‐Mediated Macrophage Switching, Unraveling the Dynamics at the Nanoplatforms–Macrophage Interface

“…Notably, the development of intricate surface patterns frequently necessitates utilizing hybrid construction techniques, which involve integrating both top-down and bottom-up approaches. [178,179] These micro-nanostructure could then be utilized for immunomodulatory applications. We have discussed the fabrication of the case specific nanoplatforms along with the immunomodulatory function in the sections below.…”

Adsorption of soft NIPAM nanogels at hydrophobic and hydrophilic interfaces: Conformation of the interfacial layers determined by neutron reflectivity

“…Studying the interactions of these materials at interfaces, understanding the adsorption behavior and kinetics, and identifying their structural features is a key priority in order to develop new tailored materials. Among the various matrices, covalently crosslinked polymeric microgels and nanogels have emerged as versatile materials for multiple applications in biotechnology, drug delivery, electronics and sensor technology [14][15][16][17][18]. By changing their chemical structure through a combination of different monomers and cross-linkers, the morphology and physicochemical properties of the particles can be tailored and stimuli-responsive characteristics introduced [19].…”

Porous materials formed by four self-construction processes

“…Supramolecular chemistry, 1 as an important branch of modern chemistry, deals with the formation of complexes or porous materials with pre-established functions via regular assemblies, 2 and then their implementation for special applications through conventional or unconventional routes. 3 This evolving branch has witnessed strong growth for the miniaturization 4 and manipulation 5 of micro- and nanoscopic objects.…”
