One of the main goals in material science is the synthesis of new nanostructured
materials, particularly those where micro and nanostructure is well tuned. One
of the main methods of synthesis is based on molding. The quality of the
replicates depends on the degree of order in the colloidal crystal and the
conditions of mineralization and removal of the mold. Throughout this
procedure some problems arise. The most important is the affinity of the
template with the coating, due to this it is important to use some agents with
the appropriate characteristics to improve the coatings. An alternative is the use
of self-assembly techniques to improve the control on structures avoiding some
of the drawbacks related to the use of molding. The present work will study the
formation of three-dimensional structures using self-assembly to improve
structure control using nanoparticles and polymers in graphene oxide aerogels
to obtain more uniform and orderly distribution of graphene oxide sheets in the
aerogel.
