Janus Particle Preparation through UV-Induced Partial Photodegradation of Spin-Coated Particle Films

چکیده
Janus particles contain two or more chemical properties typically on opposing faces. With various property combinations possible, there are several potential applications, such as surfactants and drug delivery. However, scaling up the particle production process at reasonable cost is a limiting factor, method reported here aims to circumvent this issue. The based top-down destructive strategy that consists of steps. Photocatalytic titanium dioxide prefunctionalized with surface coating were assembled films via spin-coating substrate. placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced photodegradation only surfaces exposed light. generated amphiphobic–amphiphilic in character. had theoretical balance close ideal remained attached hexane/water interface after disruption. They able make Pickering emulsions water silicone oil low energy input. may be easily scaled facilitate gram-scale yields. use UV clean efficient can applied semiconductor coatings susceptible photodegradation, making highly versatile.

متن کاملJanus particle synthesis and assembly.
Janus particles, colloid-sized particles with two regions of different surface chemical composition, possess energetic interactions that depend not only on their separation but also on their orientation. Research on Janus and colloidal particles that are chemically patchy in even more complicated fashion has opened a new chapter in the colloid research field. This article highlights recent prog...
متن کاملShape oscillations of particle-coated bubbles and directional particle expulsion
Bubbles stabilised by colloidal particles can find applications in advanced materials, catalysis and drug delivery. For applications in controlled release, it is desirable to remove the particles from the interface in a programmable fashion. We have previously shown that ultrasound waves excite volumetric oscillations of particle-coated bubbles, resulting in precisely timed particle expulsion d...
متن کاملBipolar Janus particle assembly in microdevice.
In recent years, there are significant interests in the manipulation of bipolar Janus particles. In this article, we investigate the transient behavior of the electro-orientation process and particle-particle interaction of ellipsoidal bipolar Janus particles in the presence and absence of a DC electric field. The bipolar particle dynamics is modeled with a body force term in the fluid flow equ...
متن کاملEquilibrium Pathway of Spin-Coated Polymer Films
Spin-coating is a common method of making thin polymer films. Recent experiments show that polymer films produced by this method are highly nonequilibrated. By monitoring the temporal evolution of the surface structure of freshly spin-cast polystyrene films on Si with molecular weights, 2.3 e Mw e 393 kg/mol, we find that the relaxations can be fully accounted for by thermal excitations of surf...
