Abstract
A two dimensional spring-block type model is used to model capillarity driven self-organization of nanobristles. The model reveals the role of capillarity and van der Waals forces in the pattern formation mechanism. By taking into account the relevant interactions several type of experimentally observed patterns are qualitatively well reproduced. The model offers the possibility to generate on computer novel nanobristle based structures, offering hints for designing further experiments.
