Spatial and directional control over self-assembly using catalytic micropatterned surfaces

Catalyst-assisted self-assembly is widespread in nature to achieve spatial control over structure formation. Reported herein is the formation of hydrogel micropatterns on catalytic surfaces. Gelator precursors react on catalytic sites to form building blocks which can self-assemble into nanofibers....
