Abstract

The rational design of an extended polymer or of a solid is an extremely difficult enterprise. Yet, only well-designed solids have a chance of constituting so-called intelligent materials – a necessary prerequisite for future technological materials. Three examples are given of how solids may be designed: a high energy battery material, tubular and fibrous nanoparticles, as well as semiconductor compounds.
