“…3 Multicomponent self-assembly also promises to play an important role in materials science by producing materials with complex, functional applications from simple building blocks. 4 Such co-assembled materials have potential for enhanced properties because the final structure integrates the components with molecular level precision, as compared with systems obtained by the simple mixing of components. [5][6][7][8] Effective strategies to control the co-assembly of two or more components into well-defined, hybrid architectures will be required to advance the search for novel function in these nanomaterials.…”

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous process in the natural environment, and electrospinning is a simple and convenient method to fabricate nanofibers. The self-assembly of electrospun nanofibers can produce nanomaterials in one-dimension (1D), two-dimension (2D), three-dimension (3D), and even four-dimension (4D). Techniques to fabricate 1D nanomaterials have been reviewed in this paper, especially for nanofiber and nanotube. The mechanism of the fabrication of 2D nanomaterials has been also introduced which is a specific arrangement of 1D nanostructures. The applications of 2D nanomaterials have been reviewed concerning energy devices, electronic devices, and biomedicine. Additionally, 3D nanomaterials, as more complex materials, are mainly utilized in tissue engineering and some in other fields. The advantages have been highlighted to suggest the development and prospect of 4D nanomaterials. Although 4D printing technologies still remain intractable, some aspects of improvement through electrospinning are possible in terms of responsive materials and self-growth materials.

The self-assembling is a spontaneous progression through which objects of nanophase/molecules materialize into prepared collections. Several biomolecules can interact and assemble into highly structured supramolecular structures, for instance, proteins and peptides, with fibrous scaffolds, helical ribbons, and many other functionalities. Various self-assembly systems have been established, from copolymers in blocks to three-dimensional (3D) cell culture scaffolds. Another advantage of self-assembly is its ability to manage a large variety of materials, including metals, oxides, inorganic salts, polymers, semiconductors, and various organic semiconductors. The most basic self-assembly of 3D nanomaterials is three primary forms of nanostructured carbon-based materials that perform a critical role in the progress of modern nanotechnologies, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene, and fullerene. This review summarized important information on the 3D self-assembly nanostructure, such as peptide hydrogel, graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and fullerene for application in gene delivery, cancer therapy, and tissue engineering.
