Hierarchical Micro/Nanostructured Materials: Fabrication, Properties, and Applications

Weiping Cai earned a B.Sc and M.Sc in materials science from Northeast Normal University, Changchun, People's Republic of China in 1982 and 1984, respectively. In 1997, he earned a Ph.D in materials science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, People's Republic of China. Since 1997, he has been a professor at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei. His research interests include micro/nanostructured patterns and detection devices, as well as micro/nanomaterials for environmental applications.

Guotao Duan earned a Ph.D from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei in 2007, and has continued to work there. From April 2009 to March 2010, he stepped away to do postdoctoral work at the National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Japan. His current research interests focus on micro/nanofabrication, ordered micro/nanostructured arrays, and micro/nanodevices.

Yue Li earned a Ph.D in condensed matter physics from the Institute of Solid State Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Hefei in 2005. He later worked as a postdoctoral fellow and/or visiting scientist in the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, South Korea; National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba, Japan; and Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Potsdam, Germany. Since 2011, he has served as a professor at the Institute of Solid State Physics, CAS. His research interests include the fabrications, applications, and devices of micro/nanostructured arrays based on colloidal monolayer template techniques.
