Summary: | Over the past 2 years, significant advances have been made in the development of nanostructured materials based on the polymerization of amphiphilic assemblies. The most notable advances include the synthesis of new nanostructured composite materials, demonstration of enhanced mechanical properties and catalytic reactivity in these systems, and a better understanding of the polymerization dynamics in these ordered assemblies. We expect this field to grow in the coming years, as it is one of the few simple, reliable routes towards nanoengineering and nanotechnology. |
