Shape Sensitive Crystallization In Colloidal Superball Fluids. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. We show that colloidal silica superballs crystallize into canted phases in the presence of depletants. Fingerprint Dive into the research. Guiding the self-assembly of materials by controlling the shape of the individual particle constituents is a powerful approach to material design.
We show that colloidal silica superballs crystallize into canted phases in the presence of depletants. The differences in these entropically stabilized structures are driven by minute deviations of the particle shape and are uniquely determined by an interplay between the size of depletants and the fine structure of the superball shape. 824 AM836 AM Preview Abstract Abstract.

A colloidal crystal is an ordered array of colloid particles and fine grained materials analogous to a standard crystal whose repeating subunits are atoms or molecules. 5286 - 5290 CrossRef View Record in Scopus Google Scholar.
