Self-assembly of Nano- and Micro-structured Materials Using Colloidal Engineering, Volume 12, covers the recent breakthroughs in the design and manufacture of functional colloids at the micro- and nanoscale level. In addition, it provides analyses on how these functionalities can be exploited to develop self-assembly pathways towards nano- and micro-structured materials. As we seek increasingly complex functions for colloidal superstructures, in silico design will play a critical role in guiding experimental fabrication by reducing the element of trial-and-error that would otherwise be involved. In addition to novel experimental approaches, recent developments in computational modelling are also presented, along with an overview of the arsenal of designing tools that are available to the modern materials scientist. Focuses on promoting feedback between experiment, theory and computation in this cross-disciplinary research area Shows how colloid science plays a crucial role in the bottom-up fabrication of nanostructured materials Presents recent developments in computational modelling

Named after the two-faced roman god, Janus particles have gained much attention due to their potential in a variety of applications, including drug delivery. This is the first book devoted to Janus particles and covers their methods of synthesis, how these particles self-assemble, and their possible uses. By following the line of synthesis, self-assembly and applications, the book not only covers the fundamental and applied aspects, but it goes beyond a simple summary and offers a logistic way of selecting the proper synthetic route for Janus particles for certain applications. Written by pioneering experts in the field, the book introduces the Janus concept to those new to the topic and highlights the most recent research progress on the topic for those active in the field and catalyze new ideas.

Fabricating colloidal based materials from non-spherical particles shows the potential to produce materials having a broader diversity of particle packing arrangements and crystal lattice symmetries than possible for spherical bases. These new materials show enhanced structure-property relations, specifically, in terms of photonic bandgap properties. In order to access these enchance properties, a viable method to assemble non-spherical based ordered structures is required. This dissertation describes the application of the convective self-assembly technique to fabricated regular two- and three-dimensional structures from disc, hemispherical cap, spherocylinder and dumbbell shaped colloids. Aqueous particle suspensions with controlled volume fraction permitted the assembly of large scale crystalline monolayers on substrates vertically immersed in the suspension, as the solvent was evaporated. Systematically tuning the particle volume fraction induced different particle packing arrangements in the monolayer. The monolayer structures were then correlated to the crystallization rate and suspension concentration, the two key convective assembly parameters, establishing process control of film structure in the monolayer regime. Adjusting the parameters for slower film deposition, higher suspension concentrations were used to extend the convective assembly technique three-dimensional structures from spherocylinder and dumbbell shaped particles. Additionally, the photonic band structures of crystals with face-centered cubic (FCC) and base-centered monoclinic lattices and dumbbell shape bases were calculated. The band structures revealed that a range of particle shapes produced complete photonic bandgaps.
