Order from disorder : measuring reversibility and local equilibration in self-assembly

We illustrate self-assembly with several systems which aim to harness the process of assembly to create new functional structures. The concept of kinetic trapping preventing assembly and the importance of reversibility, breaking as well as making bonds, for avoiding such traps are introduced. We aim...
