A microfluidic‐based directed assembly strategy is employed to form highly aligned supramolecular structures. Formation of aligned synthetic oligopeptide nanostructures is accomplished using planar extensional flow, which induces alignment of underlying material suprastructures. Fluidic‐directed assembly of supramolecular structures allows for unprecedented manipulation at the nano‐ and mesoscales, which has the potential to provide rapid and efficient control of functional material properties.
