BioMolecular, Chiral and Irregular Self-Assemblies (2013)
article⁄BioMolecular, Chiral and Irregular Self-Assemblies (2013)
abstract⁄As disciplines converge and new capabilities are developed for programmable materials and selfassembly across length scales and industrial applications, designers will need new models for understanding the fundamental principles within this new paradigm. This paper outlines the key ingredients for selfassembly through a number of recent projects including the BioMolecular SelfAssembly and Chiral SelfAssembly projects. Further possibilities of nondeterministic selfassembly will be highlighted through asymmetrical units, nucleus models and hierarchical assemblies. Finally, opportunities for highyield selfassembly and future applications for manufacturing and construction scenarios will be outlined. Selfassembly offers a glimpse into a future world of highly programmable, intelligent materials that promise far more adaptive, resilient and efficient built environments.
