Wall morphogenesis in higher plants is a problem still open to controversy. Until now the possibility of a transmembrane control and the involvement of microtubules were mostly envisaged. Self-assembly processes have been observed in the case of walls of Chlamydomonas and bacteria. Spontaneous gelling interactions between xanthan and galactomannan from Ceratonia have been analyzed very recently. The present work provides indications that some processes of spontaneous aggregation could occur in higher plants during the formation and expansion of cell wall.Observations were performed on hypocotyl of mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) for which growth characteristics and wall composition have been previously defined.In situ, the walls of actively growing cells (primary walls) show an ordered three-dimensional organization (fig. 1). The wall is typically polylamellate with multifibrillar layers alternately transverse and longitudinal. Between these layers intermediate strata exist in which the orientation of microfibrils progressively rotates. Thus a progressive change in the morphogenetic activity occurs.

Convective self-assembly of colloidal spheres provides a simple method for fabricating two and three dimensional colloidal crystals. In this work, we investigated the layer transitions phenomena during colloidal self-assembly in a sessile drop by using an in-situ videoscopic set-up. The effects of surface charge, colloidal concentration, and surfactant additions were examined. The results show that the chemical environment plays an important role in colloidal self-assembly. In the case of ordered growth, different layer transition phenomena were observed when the colloidal concentration is different.

In this work, graphene aerogels (GAs) with three-dimensional interconnected networks were prepared by chemical reduction and self-assembly of graphene oxide sheets. After microwave treatment, obtained microwave reduced graphene aerogels (MRGAs) were used in the preparation of bismaleimide (BMI) composites. The results show that the microwave treatment significantly enhanced the quality of GAs, and the three-dimensional networks in the GAs were well retained. Moreover, the MRGAs were highly efficient in endowing BMI with high electrical conductivity and excellent electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (EMI SE). The conductivity of MRGA/BMI composites was 42–68% higher than that of GA/BMI composites. When the filler content is 1.6 wt.%, the EMI SE of MRGA/BMI composite was 32.3% higher than that of GA/BMI composite in the X band.
