Abstract
AbstractThe most important terminology in current science and technology is probably nano. These concepts and strategies can be more generalized as fabrication of functional material systems from nanoscale building blocks. A new concept called nanoarchitectonics is created by combining nanotechnology with other research fields such as organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, materials science, and biotechnology. Nanoarchitectural approaches should produce functional materials using nanoarchitectonics units through combined and/or selected efforts of atomic/molecular manipulation, organic synthesis, self-assembly/self-organization, micro-fabrication, and biological process. The basic concept of nanoarchitectonics is general enough to be applied to various fields of research such as sensors, catalysts, devices, energy-related applications, environmental issues, and biomedical problems. In addition to these practical fields, the concept of nanoarchitectonics is effective in the basic sciences, including materials synthesis, structure manufacturing, and the biological sciences. This short chapter briefly explained historical backgrounds and essences of the nanoarchitectonics concept as well as several examples of materials nanoarchitectonics.KeywordsFunctional materialsNanoarchitectonicsNanotechnologyNano unitsSelf-assembly
