Tunable Morphology of Monodisperse Polymer Particles with Microfluidics
In this work, we propose a novel method to fabricate polymer particles with controlled morphology in microchannel by solidification of polymer solutions and study the transition in the shape of these particles from spheres, to cups, and to donuts. The non-spherical geometries are achieved through nonuniform diffusion of the solvent, leading to non-uniform solidification. By adjusting the flow r...
متن کاملHighly monodisperse conjugated polymer particles synthesized with drop-based microfluidics.
A facile method for preparing highly monodisperse, sub-micrometre conjugated polymer particles is reported. The particles are prepared through emulsification of a conjugated polymer solution on a microfluidic chip followed by solvent evaporation. The particle size is tuned between 150 nm to 2 μm, by controlling the polymer concentration.
متن کاملRheology and morphology of model immiscible polymer blends with monodisperse spherical particles at the interface
We show that the addition of solid particles to droplet–matrix blends of immiscible polymers induces massive changes in the rheology and the flow-induced structure even at loadings as low as 0.1 vol. %. Experiments were conducted using blends of polyethylene oxide (PEO, dispersed phase), polyisobutylene (PIB, continuous phase), and 470 nm monodisperse silica particles with two different surface...
متن کاملFabrication of monodisperse toroidal particles by polymer solidification in microfluidics.
Microdoughnuts: Polymer toroidal particles such as the one shown in the left picture have been prepared by a capillary microfluidic technique. Droplets of polymer solution undergo non-uniform solidification to form the anisotropic polymer particles. By incorporating functional materials inside the polymer network, functional toroidal particles (center and right images) can be tailor-made for sp...
متن کاملllenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles
HIGHLIGHT Adrian Baule and Hernán A. Makse Fundamental challenges in packing problems: from spherical to non-spherical particles Random packings of objects of a particular shape are ubiquitous in science and engineering. However, such jammed matter states have eluded any systematic theoretical treatment due to the strong positional and orientational correlations involved. In recent years progre...
