The colloidal domain is characterized by the dimensions of its constituents in the range from
several nanometers to micrometers. Often, these individual entities are organized in …

Symmetric shapes and patterns are fascinating and preferred by humans as symmetric
stimuli of any kind are more easily processed by the visual systems than their asymmetric …

This review describes the latest advances in the synthesis and assembly of specific colloids
such as the colloidal molecules as defined by van Blaaderen in 2003 and the patchy …

Nature evolved a variety of hierarchical structures that produce sophisticated functions.
Inspired by these natural materials, colloidal self-assembly provides a convenient way to …

In this work, monodisperse polydopamine (PDA) spheres with tunable diameters have been
synthesized through a facile and low cost method using a deionized water and alcohol …

Although the effects of kinetics on crystal growth are well understood, the role of substrate
curvature is not yet established. We studied rigid, two-dimensional colloidal crystals growing …

Bioactive glasses (BG) are versatile materials for various biomedical applications, including
bone regeneration and wound healing, due to their bone bonding, antibacterial, osteogenic …

The burgeoning need to fabricate new functional materials through the assembly of colloidal
building blocks has motivated an intensive research focused on patchy particles. A large …

This review article highlights the most recent advances with respect to the preparation of
Janus objects by bulk phase processes. Historically most of the concepts developed for …

While small single-stranded viral shells encapsidate their genome spontaneously, many
large viruses, such as the herpes simplex virus or infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) …
