Download or read book A Simulational Study of Self assemblies of Isotropic and Anisotropic Particles written by Wei Li and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-assembly is the term used to describe the autonomous organization of pre-existing components into ordered structures or patterns from a disordered system. In self-assembly, the final (desired) ordered structures and functions depend on the information coded in individual components. It is well known that isotropic particles can form into amorphous and crystalline structures. Furthermore, with the advance in synthesis technology, the fundamental building blocks of the self-assembling systems have become more complex, which consequently increases the complexity of the structures and enriches the properties new materials can have.

Download or read book Fabrication Dynamics and Self assembly of Anisotropic Colloidal Particles written by Adam J. Deconinck and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self-assembly of colloidal particles into larger structures is of interest both scientifically and technologically. The range of possible structures that may be formed by isotropically-interacting spherical particles is narrow, encompassing only a few possibilities. To overcome this limitation, one can introduce one or more forms of anisotropy to the particles to guide their self-assembly.In this work, we study the fabrication and behavior of polymeric microparticles that are chemically- and shape-anisotropic. Single-component, rod-shaped particles are fabricated by stop-flow lithography (SFL) using either hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. SFL is also used to fabricateJanus particles that incorporate both chemistries within a single particle. The dynamical behavior and self-assembly of these rods are investigated using fluorescence and confocal microscopy over a rangeof different aspect ratios and environmental conditions. We also developed image processing algorithms to enable the quantitative analysis of these data, adapting standard particle identification and tracking techniques to the analysis of rod-shaped colloids.Finally, we demonstrated the fabrication of colloidal particles with branched and more complex morphologies, and briefly studied the self-assembly of these "patchy" particles.

Download or read book Self Assembly of Anisotropic Particles with Critical Casimir Forces written by Nguyẽ̂n Trúc Anh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Building new materials with structures on the micron and nanoscale presents a grand challenge currently. It requires fine control in the assembly of well-designed building blocks, and understanding of the mechanical, thermodynamic, and opto-electronic properties of the resulting structures. Patchy colloidal particles with sizes from nano to micrometers provide new building blocks for tomorrow's materials owing to the ability to control their valency and thus the architecture of the assembled structures. This thesis presents our experimental observations of multivalent colloidal self-assembly with critical Casimir forces. This solvent-mediated force allows particle interactions to be tuned with temperature and solvent composition, without the addition of any other component. By combining our synthesized multivalent colloidal particles with critical Casimir forces we assemble these building blocks into site-specific superstructures, and then investigate the relation between the particle potential and geometry, and the aggregate morphology by real-space confocal imaging, reciprocal near-field light scattering and Monte Carlo simulations."--Samenvatting auteur.

Download or read book Anisotropic Nanomaterials written by Quan Li and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book anisotropic one-dimensional and two-dimensional nanoscale building blocks and their assembly into fascinating and qualitatively new functional structures embracing both hard and soft components are explained. Contributions from leading experts regarding important aspects like synthesis, assembly, properties and applications of the above materials are compiled into a reference book. The anisotropy, i.e. the direction-dependent physical properties, of materials is fascinating and elegant and has sparked the quest for anisotropic materials with useful properties. With such a curiosity, material scientists have ventured into the realm of nanometer length scale and have explored the anisotropic nanoscale building blocks such as metallic and nonmetallic particles as well as organic molecular aggregates. It turns out that the anisotropic nanoscale building blocks, in addition to direction-dependent properties, exhibit dimension and morphology dependence of physical properties. Moreover, ordered arrays of anisotropic nanoscale building blocks furnish novel properties into the resulting system which would be entirely different from the properties of individual ones. Undoubtedly, these promising properties have qualified them as enabling building blocks of 21st century materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology. Readers will find this book professionally valuable and intellectually stimulating in the rapidly emerging area of anisotropic nanomaterials.

Download or read book Self assembly of Anisotropic Particles Driven by Ice Growth written by Florian Bouville and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-assembly phenomena are of prime interest in materials science, because they fill the gap between assembly of macrostructure and processing of nanomaterials. Self-assembly is based on the spontaneous organization of individual small constituents into patterns and structures. Controlling the spatial arrangement can possibly improve materials properties by maximizing its response in a given direction. Furthermore, particular types of spatial arrangement, such as found in natural structures, can even induce new properties. During the past three years, we have used ice templating process to trigger the assembly of platelet-shaped particles to replicate the hierarchical structure of nacre. Control over this technique allowed structural customization at different length-scales: local orientation of the platelets, ice crystal long range order, and the control if the interfaces between the platelets. This hierarchical process has set the ground for the creation of a new fully mineral nacre-like alumina. The local platelet self-assembly triggered by ice growth was investigated by Discrete Element Modelling which provided new insight into the dynamic phenomenon responsible for the particles alignment. Synchrotron X-ray tomography was used to validated the model results. The different architecture observed in the final samples are not the result of a percolation threshold, as one could expect, but is instead a consequence of the delicate balance between pushing and engulfment at the solidification front. The local alignment of platelets can be beneficial for the functional and structural characteristics of composites and relevant aspects for two potential applications were investigated: the thermal properties of the hexagonal boron nitride/silicon rubber composites and the mechanical properties of macroporous alumina. Further adaptation of the process allowed for long range ordering of the ice crystals (up to the centimeter scale). Different tools have also been developed in order to characterize the response of composites as a function of the architecture at the level of the macropores and particle organisation. Once those two levels of alignment were achieved, the addition of a glassy phase and nanoparticles to the grain boundaries of the platelets introduces, just like in nacre, interfaces capable of deflect and even stopping crack propagation.

Download or read book Spherical Nucleic Acids written by Chad A. Mirkin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) comprise a nanoparticle core, and a densely packed and highly oriented nucleic acid shell. They have novel structure-dependent properties that differ from those of linear nucleic acids and that makes them useful in chemistry, biology, the life sciences, medicine, materials science, and engineering. This book is a reprint volume that compiles 101 key papers that have been published by the Mirkin Group at Northwestern University, USA, and their collaborators over the past more than two decades. Volume 1 provides an overview and a historical framework of SNAs and discusses their enabling features, which set them apart from all other forms of matter. Volume 2 covers the general design rules for colloidal crystal engineering with DNA, spanning the building blocks and DNA- and RNA-based "programmable bonds" that can be utilized in preparing such structures. Volume 3 continues the discussion of colloidal crystallization processes and routes to hierarchical assembly, featuring dynamic nanoparticle superlattices and lattices prepared on surfaces or via templating strategies, and explores what one can uniquely learn from and do with colloidal crystals prepared from nucleic acid–functionalized nanomaterials in optics, plasmonics, and catalysis. Volume 4 covers the role of SNAs in biomedicine, especially as diagnostic probes both inside and outside of cells, and treatments based on gene regulation and immunotherapy.

Download or read book Particulate Morphology written by Keishi Gotoh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-03-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Encompassing over fifty years of research, Professor Gotoh addresses the correlation function of spatial structures and the statistical geometry of random particle assemblies. In this book morphological study is formed into random particle assemblies to which various mathematics are applied such as correlation function, radial distribution function and statistical geometry. This leads to the general comparison between the thermodynamic state such as gases and liquids and the random particle assemblies. Although structures of molecular configurations change at every moment due to thermal vibration, liquids can be regarded as random packing of particles. Similarly, gaseous states correspond to particle dispersion. If physical and chemical properties are taken away from the subject, the remainder is the structure itself. Hence, the structural study is ubiquitous and of fundamental importance. This book will prove useful to chemical engineers working on powder technology as well as mathematicians interested in learning more about the subject. Concisely explains various mathematics and tools applied to the subject. Incorporates multiple fields to give a clear view of the application of mathematics in powder technology.
