Abstract
Although thermodynamically different, self-assembly and dissipative structure formation often work together to bring about highly ordered structures in an open system. This mutual assistance between self-assembly and dissipative structure formation is regarded as self-organization for a system to increase the degrees of hierarchy and complexity. An example for this comprehensive idea is given by hierarchic self-organization of organo-passivated metal nanoparticles in dissipatively isolated polymer matrices.
