Functional Materials and Devices by Self-Assembly

Date: October 28, 2020

Time: 02:00PM - 03:30PM

You must be registered to participate!

Two decades of active research on self-assembly has delivered materials with unprecedented nanoscale structures in both two and three dimensions. In early work, the focus was primarily on the nanostructure of the self-assembled materials; however, as commercialization interests are increasing, the focus is increasing on the physical and chemical properties of these structures and proof-of-concept devices.

The current state of the field, as covered in the October, 2020 issue of MRS Bulletin, suggests that self-assembly is making significant strides toward application in nanoelectronics, photonics, energy storage, chemical separations, and as a path to form complex structures.

This webinar will expand on the MRS Bulletin issue with talks from leading experts in the field. Each talk will be followed by a Q&A session with the speaker.

Talk Presentations:

  • Self-assembled materials for electrochemical energy storage
    Vanessa Wood, ETH Zurich
    Talk begins at 9:49
       
  • Self-assembly of Bioinspired and Biologically
    Functional
    Materials
    Robert Macfarlane, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Talk begins at 40:25
     
  • Self-assembly for electronics
    Cherie Kagan, University of Pennsylvania
    Talk begins at 1:10:00
