Self-assembly is an attractive method to develop one-dimensional nanostructures and is controlled by many factors including temperature, pH and electrolyte addition. Novel self-assembled one-dimensional nanostructures are finding applications in regenerative medicine and electronics as well as in fabrication of nanoscale electronic, mechanic, magnetic, optical, and combinatorial devices. Their utility comes from their high ratio of surface area to volume, and their quantum-confinement effects. This paper reviews one-dimensional self-assembled organic nanostructures classified according to the noncovalent forces acting on their formation.EnglishBottom up approachCombinatorial devicesCovalent forcesFunctional structureNanoscale electronicsOne-dimensional nanostructureOrganic nanostructuresQuantum-confinement effectsRegenerative medicineSelf assembly processSelf-assembledSpontaneous aggregationSurface areaNanomagneticsSelf assemblyNanostructuresSelf-assembled one-dimensional soft nanostructuresArticle10.1039/c0sm00121j1744-6848
