Microfluidic Synthesis of Magnetochromatic Microspheres Utilizing Magnetic Self-assembly and Photopolymerization Process

چکیده
This paper reports a microfluidic synthesis method for manufacturing magnetochromatic microspheres. The magnetochromatic microspheres are magneto-responsive color-changing microparticles in which embedded magnetic nanoparticles diffract different colors of light depending on their nanoscale interparticle spacing within their one-dimensional (1D) arrangements [1]. Our microfluidic approach in combination with magnetic self-assembly and photopolymerization process allows us to synthesize the magnetochromatic microspheres with desired size and color. By virtue of dynamic color-tuning capability during the synthesis, microspheres with heterogeneous color distribution can also be obtained. After synthesis color modulation of the microspheres is also possible through rotation of the microspheres.
