This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anisotropic colloids differ from isotropic particles as they may combine a non-spherical shape with a heterogeneous composition or surface chemistry. These versatile colloids have moved into the focus of various research groups in the fields of chemistry and physics. Hence, preparation pathways for novel model systems and their characterization are challenging aspects in fundamental research and material science. In the first part of this work, the author describes the synthesis and characterization of two colloidal systems with dumbbell-shaped core-shell morphology. The core consists of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly(styrene). As a special feature, the attached shell layer promotes the change of the particle size and the aspect ratio by simply changing the ionic strength or temperature. Depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) was used to investigate how these stimuli affect the translational and the rotational diffusion in the highly diluted state. The hydrodynamics of the particles could be well described with stick-boundary conditions by using analytical expressions for a double sphere, prolate ellipsoid and cylinder or the shell model, respectively. Electron and scanning force microscopy were applied to image the particle morphology in real space. The second part is devoted to the hydrodynamics of monodisperse, submicron-sized colloidal clusters, which consist of one to four spherical building blocks. The author demonstrates that the shell model is an excellent tool to identify the rotational relaxations which are accessible by DDLS.

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. Quan Li, Ph.D., is Director of the Organic Synthesis and Advanced Materials Laboratory at the Liquid Crystal Institute of Kent State University, where he is also Adjunct Professor in the Chemical Physics Interdisciplinary Program.

Download or read book Self assembly Via Anisotropic Interactions written by Arthur Cecil Newton and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-assembly, the non-dissipative spontaneous formation of structural order spans many length scales, from amphiphilic molecules forming micelles to stars forming galaxies. This thesis mainly deals with systems on the colloidal length scale where the size of a particle is between a nanometer and a micrometer. As such, this thesis focuses on the self-assembly of colloidal particles made in the laboratory forming supracolloidal structures in a capillary and making the link to proteins forming complexes or virus shells. Whereas retrosynthetic analysis gives a handle on how atoms form molecules and subsequently how molecules form even bigger molecules, similar design principles are lacking for assembling micrometer particles. Last decade has witnessed great advances in the synthesis of micrometer particle building blocks. It is currently possible to make colloids anisotropic in shape, or anisotropic in surface properties, so-called patchy particles. Patchy particles show great promise in the design of new building blocks, possibly applicable in novel functional materials. Moreover, patchy particles have also shown to be good models for globular proteins. This thesis discusses mainly two topics using advanced computer simulation techniques. The first part of this thesis deals with the extraction of an effective potential for anisotropic colloidal dumbbell particles interacting through the critical Casimir force. The second part deals with how the kinetics and mechanism of formation of simple colloidal or protein structures are influenced by changing the interaction between or the dynamics of patchy particles.

Book excerpt: This open access book, published in the Soft and Biological Matter series, presents an introduction to selected research topics in the broad field of flowing matter, including the dynamics of fluids with a complex internal structure -from nematic fluids to soft glasses- as well as active matter and turbulent phenomena. Flowing matter is a subject at the crossroads between physics, mathematics, chemistry, engineering, biology and earth sciences, and relies on a multidisciplinary approach to describe the emergence of the macroscopic behaviours in a system from the coordinated dynamics of its microscopic constituents. Depending on the microscopic interactions, an assembly of molecules or of mesoscopic particles can flow like a simple Newtonian fluid, deform elastically like a solid or behave in a complex manner. When the internal constituents are active, as for biological entities, one generally observes complex large-scale collective motions. Phenomenology is further complicated by the invariable tendency of fluids to display chaos at the large scales or when stirred strongly enough. This volume presents several research topics that address these phenomena encompassing the traditional micro-, meso-, and macro-scales descriptions, and contributes to our understanding of the fundamentals of flowing matter. This book is the legacy of the COST Action MP1305 “Flowing Matter”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noble metal nanoparticles have attracted enormous scientific and technological interest because of their unique optical properties, which are related to surface plasmon resonances. The interest in nanosized metal particles dates back to ancient societies, when metals were used in various forms as decorative elements. From the famous Lycurgus cup, made by the Romans in the 4th century AD, through thousands of stained glasses in churches and cathedrals all over medieval Europe, bright-yellow, green, or red colors have been obtained by a touch of metallic additions during glass blowing. This peculiar interaction of light with nanometals can be widely tuned through the morphology and assembly of nanoparticles, thereby expanding the range of potential applications, from energy and information storage to biomedicine, including novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods. This book compiles recent developments that clearly illustrate the state of the art in this cutting-edge research field. It comprises different review articles written by the teams of Prof. Luis Liz-Marzán, an international leader in chemical nanotechnology who has made seminal contributions to the use of colloid chemistry methods to understand and tailor the growth of metal particles at the nanoscale. Apart from synthesis, the book also describes in detail the plasmonic properties of nanomaterials and illustrates some representative applications. This book will appeal to anyone involved in nanotechnology, nanocrystal growth, nanoplasmonics, and surface-enhanced spectroscopies.
