Direct observation of a local structural mechanism for dynamic arrest. (2008, background): “However, many LFSs result in efficient local packin”
Particle shape: a new design parameter for micro- and nanoscale drug delivery carriers. (2007, methodology): “For bench-scale production, non-continuous methods have produced more particles to date than continuous methods; self-assembly of spheres has produced 108–1010 per batch of clusters containing 2–5 particles [32], template-assisted self-assembly has created 105 per template [33] and the film-stretchi”
The Integument of Water-walking Arthropods: Form and Function (2007, background): “Recently, such capillary forces have been recognized as a means by which to promote self-assembly of microstructures at a free surface (Gryzbowski et al., 2001; Whitesides and Grzybowski, 2002; Manoharan et al., 2003; Lauga and Brenner, 2004; Zeng et al., 2006).”
