Fabrication of gradient colloidal topography.

A rather simple but yet effective way to self-assemble polystyrene (PS) beads in gradient colloidal crystal topography is proposed. The PS bead concentration, solvent, and substrate have a big effect on the colloidal crystal topography. Whether the gradient-shaped crystals can form or not depends on the Bond number [Bo; the ratio of gravitational potential energy (G) to adhesive energy (E(a)), or gravitational to capillary forces]. When Bo < 1, that is, the capillary force dominates over the gravitational force, the liquid meniscus is stable. The gradient-shaped crystals can form. Otherwise, PS beads form a uniform multilayer structure.

Ordered honeycomb-structured gold nanoparticle films with changeable pore morphology: from circle to ellipse.

Two-dimensionally ordered honeycomb structures have been prepared on dodecanethiol-capped gold nanoparticle films by blowing moist air across the surface of the nanoparticle solution. The pore morphology can be altered from circle to ellipse with tunable aspect ratios by carefully controlling the direction and velocity of airflow. The formation mechanisms of different surface morphologies have been discussed in terms of the surface and interfacial tension.

Fabrication gradient surfaces by changing polystyrene microsphere topography.

A rather simple yet effective way to fabricate gradient surfaces by changing polystyrene (PS) microsphere topography in a temperature gradient field is proposed. The wettability of the film has an obvious gradient change from 88.7 to 148.1 degrees . The changes of the PS microsphere topography are believed to be responsible for the changing of the wettability.
