Flow-guided assembly processes.
This Concept article focuses on capillary, hydrodynamics and electrokinetic flow-guided assembly processes that can produce patterned or gradient functional surfaces either on solid surfaces or in deep micro- and nanoscale channels. This concept has the potential to produce low-cost nanostructures, internal surface modifications, and devices in nanomedicine.
