Evaporative self-assembly of single-chain, polymeric nanoparticles.

چکیده
Evaporative self-assembly of dilute solutions containing single-chain polymeric nanoparticles results in characteristic morphologies imaged using atomic force microscopy. Quantitative comparison of experimental data to morphologies obtained by lattice-gas simulations shows that the nonequilibrium patterns emerge from a complex interplay between dewetting, solvent evaporation and nanoparticle diffusion.

Evaporative self-assembly assisted synthesis of polymeric nanoparticles by surface acoustic wave atomization.
We demonstrate a straightforward and rapid atomization process driven by surface acoustic waves that is capable of continuously producing spherical monodispersed submicron poly-ε-caprolactone particle aggregates between 150 and 200 nm, each of which are composed of nanoparticles of 5-10 nm in diameter. The size and morphologies of these particle assemblies were determined using dynamic light sc...

متن کاملDirected organization of gold nanoparticles in polymer coatings through infrared-assisted evaporative lithography.
Infrared-assisted evaporative lithography (IRAEL) is presented as an emerging technology to direct the assembly of gold nanospheres (AuNSs) into large-scale superstructures within colloidal polymeric coatings. The organization of gold nanoparticle arrays within the superstructures can be tuned over length scales, ranging from micrometers up to several millimetres, giving rise to intrinsic plasm...
متن کاملFast, high-throughput creation of size-tunable micro/nanoparticle clusters via evaporative self-assembly in picoliter-scale droplets of particle suspension.
We report a fast, high-throughput method to create size-tunable micro/nanoparticle clusters via evaporative assembly in picoliter-scale droplets of particle suspension. Mediated by gravity force and surface tension force of a contacting surface, picoliter-scale droplets of the suspension are generated from a nanofabricated printing head. Rapid evaporative self-assembly of the particles on a hyd...
