Main Methods:

  • Utilizing wet interfaces for structure formation.
  • Modulating dynamic parameters, focusing on aggregation speed.
  • Analyzing the impact of parameter control on aggregate characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Dynamic parameter modulation, particularly speed, dictates aggregation mechanisms.
  • Speed acts as a threshold factor influencing structure shape and order.
  • Within specific aggregation pathways, speed controls size and defectivity.

Conclusions:

  • Non-equilibrium self-assembly offers a versatile route to programmed nanoscale structures.
  • Controlling dynamic parameters, like speed, is essential for tailoring aggregate properties.
  • This approach enables precise engineering of super- and supra-aggregates at interfaces.
