Entropy-driven Self-assembly

Entropy-Driven Self-Assembly is a thermodynamic self-organization process in which ordered colloidal structures emerge predominantly due to the maximization of system entropy, rather than through energy minimization, primarily arising from entropic contributions such as particle shape, size, and configurational freedom in crowded environments.
