Over recent years there have been numerous discoveries in the area, of materials fabrication on the nanoscale. Researchers now believe that inspiring functionality can be built into systems made by organizing many molecular building blocks into one unit. The most advanced properties of such assemblies include their ability to repair themselves or adapt to changing conditions. If we are to bring such technology to the public domain. the next challenge is to learn how to process such systems effectively on larger scales. In the present work. we will examine this opportunity using two approaches. Firstly, we will address the processing issue by designing and fabricating tiny silicon chips that use a technique called microfluidics to enable chemical synthesis of nanoscale building blocks to be controlled and run continuously, providing a stream of products. Secondly. we will discover how to use polymers as intelligent scaffolds for capturing and organizing our nanoscale building blocks into sophisticated superstructures which have desirable optical properties.

近年来，在纳米材料制造领域有许多发现。研究人员现在认为，通过将许多分子构建块组织成一个单元，可以将鼓舞人心的功能构建到系统中。这种组件的最先进的特性包括它们能够自我修复或适应不断变化的条件。如果我们要把这样的技术带到公共领域。下一个挑战是学习如何在更大规模上有效地处理这些系统。在目前的工作中。我们将从两个方面来研究这个机会。首先，我们将通过设计和制造微小的硅芯片来解决处理问题，这些芯片使用一种称为微流体的技术，使纳米级构建模块的化学合成能够连续控制和运行，提供产品流。其次。我们将发现如何使用聚合物作为智能支架，用于捕获和组织我们的纳米级构建块，使其成为具有理想光学特性的复杂超结构。
