Abstract

Macromolecules with complex, defined structures exist in nature (e.g. DNA, RNA and proteins) and their remarkable functionality is dictated by their intricate hierarchical structure. Nevertheless, achieving such a high level of precision at the molecular level remains impossible using conventional materials for two-photon 3D laser printing. Herein, we present our recent work in the field, with emphasis on engineering of precisely-defined and self-assembled materials using a nature-inspired approach. Through the precise control and printability of these materials, an exciting avenue for the manufacturing of functional materials with distinct properties and nanostructure is established.
