Abstract

Self‐Assembly. Self‐organizing materials allow for fabrication of functional nanostructures. A two‐component approach to self‐assembled nanostructures has been developed, which allows for simple preparation of thin films with lamellar molecular order. The nanoscale molecular order is maintained over centimeters and is a direct result of the tailored chemical properties of the materials. Furthermore, the two‐component approach allows for different functions to be incorporated in the thin films.
