Structure Elucidation Of Shear Oriented Ionic Self-Assembled Materials (SISAM)

自组织是呈现纳米结构的概念。结构的形成往往是局部的，除非施加额外的场以使结构相互对齐并抑制晶界。在这个建议中，提出了一个多学科的方法来研究通过离子自组装（伊萨）路线合成的高度有序的自组织纳米结构的宏观剪切对齐。这种合成路线提供了将各种功能分子组织成纳米结构的可能性。动态流变光学测量应用于获得洞察的取向机制。原位和非原位小角X射线散射将被应用于阐明这种对齐系统的精细结构细节。这三个小组（各自在物理学，聚合物物理学和胶体化学方面的背景）在过去几年中一直活跃在自组织纳米结构领域，并提出了一个以超分子材料为中心的各种技能和专业知识的研究团队。这是这个合作研究努力的目的是联合收割机这些技能，以获得从分子水平的整个自组织过程中有用的宏观性质的纳米结构材料的建立进一步的洞察。

Self-organization is a concept to render nanoscale structures. The structure formation tends to be local only, unless additional fields are applied to mutually align the structures and to suppress grain boundaries. In this proposal a multidisciplinary approach is presented to investigate the macroscopic shear alignment of highly ordered self-organised nano-structures synthesized via the ionic self-assembly (ISA) route. This synthesis route provides the possibility to organise a variety of functional molecules into nano-structures. Dynamic rheooptical measurements are applied to gain insight about the orientation mechanisms. In-situ and ex-situ Small Angle X-ray scattering will be applied to elucidate fine structural details of such aligned systems. The three groups (with their respective backgrounds in physics, polymer physics and colloid chemistry) have been active in the field of self-organising nano-structures over the last few years and present a research team with a variety of skills and expertise centred on supramolecular materials. It is the aim of this collaborative research effort to combine these skills to obtain further insight into the build-up of useful macroscopic properties of nanostructured materials throughout the self-organisation process from the molecular level.
