ABSTRACT

Significant efforts have been devoted to the investigation of organic materials especially for optoelectronic applications. Compared with traditional bulk materials, organic micro/nanomaterials, a new member of organic material family, displayed interesting novel properties, which has attracted increasing attentions in recent years. Compared with other fabrication methods, solution process provides a more convenient and cost-effective approach to obtain organic micro/nanomaterials with various morphologies. In this chapter, we briefly introduce the basic fabrication methods of organic micro/nanostructures. Then we review recent progress on molecular design strategies, growth mechanisms and applications of organic micro/nanostructures.
