This paper discusses the interfacial chemistry encountered in the self-assembly of ordered nanoscale materials based on surfactant liquid crystalline structures. The paper contains three sections. The first section gives a brief introduction to the interfacial chemistry in the co-assembly of surfactants and inorganic materials. The second section discusses the formation of inorganic–inorganic nanocomposites, the properties of such materials, and the interfacial atomic structures. The last section discusses hybrid nanoscale materials with functional monolayers, their interfacial chemistry, and their potential applications.

AbstractAfter over a decade of research, the efficient synthesis and processing of layered organic/inorganic nanocomposites that mimic bone and shell structures remains an elusive goal of the materials chemist. We report on a rapid, efficient, continuous method to form layered nanocomposites via evaporation induced supramolecular self-assembly (SSA). During dip coating of a homogeneous sol containing alcohol or ether solvents, silica precursors, organic monomers, initiators and surfactant (at an initial concentration below cmc), solvent evaporation induces the formation of micellar structures that co-organize with silica to form cubic, hexagonal or lamellar mesophases. The organic monomers and initiators are solvated within the hydrophobic micellar interiors. Subsequent photo or thermal polymerization and washing results in a silica/polymer thin film nanocomposite. The microstructural and physical characteristics of these materials will be discussed in the context of potential applications as abrasion resistant coatings and optical hosts.

We present the results of the computer simulations for the self-assembly of decorated nanoparticles. The models are rather generic and comprise a central core and a shell of ligands containing terminal liquid crystalline group, including the case of the azobenzene chromophores. The simulations are performed using the coarse-grained molecular dynamics with the effective soft-core interparticle interaction potentials obtained from the atomistic simulations. The discussion is centred around the set of the self-assembled morphologies in a melt of 100–200 of such decorated nanoparticles obtained upon the change of the temperature, surface density of ligands, the type of the terminal group attachment, as well as the prediction of the possibility of photo-assisted self-assembly of the nanoparticles decorated by the azobenzene chromophores.
