Polymer self-assembly in solution still constitutes a simple methodology for the preparation of elegant yet sophisticated nanomaterials. This work aims at presenting how the fine tuning of the experimental parameters of the nanoprecipitation process can lead to a variety of novel morphologies ranging from nanocorals through cubosomes to nanocubes. A carbohydrate dibloc copolymer with a simple and linear structure MH1.2k-b-PS2.3 has been used as a model to illustrate the formation of these new self-assemblies. This is the first time that nanocube morphology has been generated using this type of bio-sourced co-polymer in aqueous solution and at room temperature.

AbstractNanoscale self-assembly, as a technique to transform two-dimensional (2D) planar patterns into three-dimensional (3D) nanoscale architectures, has achieved tremendous success in the past decade. However, an assembly process at nanoscale is easily affected by small unavoidable variations in sample conditions and reaction environment, resulting in a low yield. Recently, in-situ monitored self-assembly based on ion and electron irradiation has stood out as a promising candidate to overcome this limitation. The usage of ion and electron beam allows stress generation and real-time observation simultaneously, which significantly enhances the controllability of self-assembly. This enables the realization of various complex 3D nanostructures with a high yield. The additional dimension of the self-assembled 3D nanostructures opens the possibility to explore novel properties that cannot be demonstrated in 2D planar patterns. Here, we present a rapid review on the recent achievements and challenges in nanoscale self-assembly using electron and ion beam techniques, followed by a discussion of the novel optical properties achieved in the self-assembled 3D nanostructures.
