Abstract

Unifrom nanoparticles with shape-anisotropy have been synthesized successfully, including rod-like, disk-like (or platelet), or faceted nanoparticles. Recently, innovative methods for funtionalizing their surfaces anisotropically have been devised, which involve site-selective attachment of organic ligands or nanoparticles on particle surface. Those techniques have opened a new way to build up complex nano-architectures by self-assembly. Moreover, recent progress in the synthesis and assembly of anisotropic colloids at micrometer scale has inspired directional self-assembly at nanoscale with anisotropic nanoparticles, which could lead to various nanodevices with better performance. In this review, we discuss synthetic methodology for anisotrpic nanoparticles, including nanorods, nanoplatelet (or nanodisks), faceted nanoparticles and hybrid nanoparticles. Their opitical properties and self-assembled structures are also discusssed.

Additional information

Gi-Ra Yi received his BS degree in chemical engineering from Yonsei University, Korea, in 1997 and MS (1999) and PhD (2003) degrees in chemical and biomolecular engineering from KAIST, Korea. He undertook postdoctoral research at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, and worked briefly for the Corporate R&D Center of LG Chem Research Park and the Korea Basic Science Institute as a research scientist. In 2009, he joined Chungbuk National University, Korea, as an assistant professor in engineering chemistry. He was a visiting professor at Center for Soft Matter Research in New York University. His current interest is in self-assemblies of colloidal particles at micrometer or nanometer scales, as well as multiphase microfluidics.
