复制模塑长期以来一直被用来制作宏观物体，如青铜雕像或塑料娃娃，从模具或大师。最近，这种方法已经扩展到纳米尺度。Mallouk强调了Jiang等人的报告，他们设计了一种两步复制成型工艺，从球形二氧化硅颗粒开始，产生不同成分的球形或扭曲颗粒的规则组装。制造规则、不对称粒子的能力可能在光子学和纳米级器件的组装中很有用。
Replica molding has long been used to make macroscopic objects such as bronze statues or plastic dolls from a mold or master. Recently, this method has been extended to the nanoscale. Mallouk highlights the report by Jiang et al. , who have devised a two-step replica molding process that starts from spherical silica particles and results in regular assemblies of spherical or distorted particles of a different composition. The ability to make regular, asymmetric particles may be useful in photonics and the assembly of nanoscale devices.
