Recent progresses in nanometer-scale molecular self-organization and mesosc opic pattern formation are reviewed from the view point of nanotechnology o f bottom-up materials fabrication. Nanometer-scale layer-by-layer self-asse mblies on nanoparticles will provide wide applications in many fields. The micro-contact printing technique is effectively used for up-sizing the nano structured molecular assemblies as submicrometer- and micrometer-scale patt erns. Dissipative structures formed in non-equilibrium systems as self-orga nized spatio-temporal structures are newly employed for the mesoscopic patt erning of the nanostructured molecular assemblies.
