Asymmetric mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with controllable head–tail structures
have been successfully synthesized. The head particle type is tunable (solid or porous), and …

Colloid science has recently grown substantially owing to the innovative use of silane
coupling agents (SCAs), especially 3-trimethoxysilylpropyl methacrylate (TPM). SCAs were …

Controlling the propulsion modes of colloidal micromotors, from translational to spinning and
helical motion, expands the versatility of their potential applications in microrobotics and …

Particles adsorbed at a fluid-fluid interface induce capillary deformations that determine their
orientations and generate mutual capillary interactions which drive them to assemble into …

Ultrasmall silica‐based nanoparticles (SNPs) are attractive for application in many fields, but
existing synthetic approaches show limited control over the size and morphology of these …

Nanometer-sized clusters are often targeted due to their potential applications as
nanoreactors or storage/delivery devices. One route to assemble and stabilize finite …

The microstructure and rheological properties of colloidal suspensions depend on particle
size and shape. This work aims to further control the size, shape, and polydispersity of …

Many physical problems require explicit knowledge of the equilibrium shape of the interface
between two fluid phases. Here, we present a new numerical method which is simply …

The adsorption, self-organization and oriented attachment of PbSe nanocrystals (NCs) at
liquid-air interfaces has led to remarkable nanocrystal superlattices with atomic order and a …

Dynamic arrest transitions of colloidal suspensions containing nonspherical particles are of
interest for the design and processing of various particle technologies. To better understand …
