In-plane aligned assemblies of 1D-nanoobjects : recent approaches and applications by Hu, Hebing, Wang, Shancheng, Feng, Xueling, Pauly, Matthias, Decher, Gero, Long, Yi

“…Optical polarizers are a typical class of such materials, but anisotropic materials properties can enhance the performance of devices and materials over many length scales in various disciplines of materials science including electronic devices, environmental sensors, energy saving and energy generation applications, plasmonic devices, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and biological applications. The reviewed alignment methods fall into two categories: techniques in which all nanoobjects remain in the x,y-plane and the in-plane densities and alignment are controlled; and techniques allowing building complex architectures in which each stratum of multilayered or stacked films may differ in chemical nature or alignment direction or both. …”
