Template‐Assisted Self‐Assembly: Alignment, Placement, and Arrangement of Two‐Dimensional Mesostructured DNA–Silica Platelets

Abstract

In the same direction: Two-dimensional mesostructured DNA–silica platelets were horizontally or vertically aligned on unpatterned substrate surfaces using “bottom-up” self-assembly. Through template-assisted self-assembly, vertically aligned DNA–silica platelets were selectively placed in the grooves and on the protuberances and with a parallel arrangement near the edges on patterned surfaces.
