Synthesis of Janus particles via kinetic control of phase separation in emulsion droplets.
A reaction-induced phase separation strategy in emulsion droplets has been developed to fabricate non-spherical Janus particles. The final morphology of the resulting Janus particles is controlled by a reaction sequence. These Janus particles are amphiphilic and show regio-selective adsorption orientation at oil/water interfaces.
متن کاملFlocculation and coalescence of micron-size emulsion droplets
We analyze the relative importance of droplet deformation, surfactant transfer and interfacial rheology for the properties and stability of emulsions. The appearance of deformation (flattening or film) in the zone of contact of two interacting droplets has the following consequences. It enhances the importance of the surface forces of intermolecular origin and gives rise to contributions from t...
متن کاملDecompressing emulsion droplets favors coalescence.
The destabilization process of an emulsion under flow is investigated in a microfluidic device. The experimental approach enables us to generate a periodic train of droplet pairs, and thus to isolate and analyze the basic step of the destabilization, namely, the coalescence of two droplets which collide. We demonstrate a counterintuitive phenomenon: coalescence occurs during the separation phas...
متن کاملJanus Supraparticles by Induced Phase Separation of Nanoparticles in Droplets
Adv. Mater. 2009, 21, 1949–1953 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag G IO N Janus particles are non-centrosymmetric particles with two distinct sides. The two sides may differ in surface wettability or in optical, electrical, or magnetic properties. Depending upon the anisotropic properties, these particles can be used as emulsion stabilizers, analogous to surfactant molecules, optical probes for chemical, bi...
متن کاملMiniaturising the laboratory in emulsion droplets.
Biochemical and genetic assays can be both miniaturized and parallelized by compartmentalization in living cells. In vitro compartmentalization (IVC) offers an alternative strategy based on partitioning reactions in water droplets dispersed to form microscopic compartments in water-in-oil emulsions. The cell-like volumes of these compartments (as low as one femtolitre), the ability to freely de...
