The mechanical self-assembly process is inherently quick, simple, and cost-effective, as well as accessible to a large number of materials, such as curved surfaces for forming three-dimensional small structures. Mechanical self-assembly is complementary to, and sometimes offer advantages over, the traditional micro- and nano-fabrication.
This book also:
Presents a highly original aspect of the science of self-assembly
Describes the novel methods of mechanical assembly used to fabricate a variety of new three-dimensional material structures in simple and cost-effective ways
Provides simple insights to a number of biological systems and processes
Elucidates underlying mechanics principles of spontaneous pattern formations
Mechanical Self-Assembly: Science and Applications is an ideal book for graduate students and engineers involved in the field of mechanical self-assembly.
