Control of self organization of nanofibers into regular clusters upon evaporation,induced assembly is receiving increasing attention due to the potential importance of this process in a range of applications including particle trapping;adhesives,and structural color Here we present a comprehensive study of this phenomenon using a periodic array polymeric nanopillars with,tunable parameters as a model system to study how geometry, mechanical properties, as well as surface properties influence capillary induced self-organization In particular, we show that varying the parameters of the building blocks of self assembly provide us with a simple means of controlling the size, chirality, and anisotropy of complex structures We observe that chiral assemblies can be generated within a narrow window for each parameter even in the absence of chiral building blocks or a chiral environment Furthermore, introducing anisotropy in the building blocks provides a way to control both the chirality and the size of the assembly While capillary induced self assembly has been studied and modeled as a quasi static process involving the competition between only capillary and elastic forces, our results unequivocally show that both adhesion and kinetics are equally important in determining the,final assembly Our findings provide insight into how multiple parameters work together in capillary induced self assembly and provide us with a diverse set of options for fabrication a variety of nanostructures by self assembly
