Self-assembly of anisotropic tethered nanoparticle shape amphiphiles (2005, background): “These demonstrations have resulted in structures resembling chains [33] and wires, hexagonally arranged particles [22], worm-like and labyrinth-like structures [22], precise clusters [22,24], nanowires [34], and onion-like vesicles [23], as well as aggregates with little or no order.”
