Abstract
Nanoparticle inks for directed assembly of three-dimensional periodic structures were studied. It was reported that the inks must contain a high nanoparticle volume fraction to minimize drying-induced shrinkage after assembly was complete. It was found that this approach opened up an unexplored avenue for engineering complex 3D structures from nanoparticle building blocks, which were relevant for a broad range of technological applications.
