Abstract
Recent developments in the hierarchical organization of micro‐ and nanoparticles suggest a categorical shift in which the focus has changed from colloidal crystallization based on van der Waals forces to the assembly of clusters of a well‐controlled number of particles through various covalent and non‐covalent interactions, referred to here as supraparticle chemistry. This article highlights some of the advances that have been made during this transition and discusses some of the promising future directions that should be realized.

An on-board technique was developed that combined discharge-weighted pumping to a high-speed continuous-¯ow centrifuge for isolation of the particulate-sized material with ultra®ltration for isolation of colloid-sized material. In order to address whether these processes changed the particle sizes d
