Supramolecular Oligothiophene Microfibers Spontaneously Assembled on Surfaces or Coassembled with Proteins inside Live Cells

The simplest technique for the fabrication of these anisotropic supramolecular structures is to let the molecules do the work by spontaneous organization driven by the information encoded in their molecular structure.

CONSPECTUS: During the last few decades, multifunctional nano- and microfibers made of semiconducting pi-conjugated oligomers and polymers have generated much interest because of a broad range of applications extending from sensing to bioelectronic devices and (opto)electronics.
