Resumen: A brief introduction to the subject As a continuation of the previous module, here the necessary basic chemistry concepts are introduced to make the molecular self-assembly and self-organisation processes understandable as they let students make practical use of this chemistry to the benefit of the production of structures of interest in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. A brief description of the contents of this subject includes: Nanomaterials, nanostructures and their production: nanoparticles, quantum points, nanotubes, nanothreads, nanosheets, nanocomposites, polymers, dendrimers and liposomes. Hierarchical self-assembly and molecular self-organisation: supramolecular nanostructures, growth by biochemical self-assembly, etc. Surface chirality. Nanostructure functionalization. Inorganic layers.   The theory classes are complemented by six practical sessions including:   1.- Nanotube synthesis 2.- Synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles in solution 3.- Growth of layers 4.- Assembly in nanostructure production 5.- Preparation of block co-polymer micelle aggregates 6.- Supramolecular Chemistry; self-assembled anisotropic stages: liquid crystals.
