This thesis deals with the processes that create ordered assemblies
from disordered nanoparticles. Ordered packings of nanoscale
particles can exhibit unusual properties. This work investigates
the self-assembly of such particles, a process widely employed for
the generation of ordered structures, but not yet well understood.
In situ methods are used to observe the assembly of sub-micron
polymer lattices and sub-10 nm gold particles into crystalline
monolayers and aggregates. On the basis of these results, the book
develops new models that describe the competition between different
influences, such as thermal agitation and directional forces. It
suggests necessary criteria that lead to the emergence of order.
