Colloidal micro-and nanoparticles with controlled internal architectures have attracted recent
interest because of their promising properties for drug delivery, molecular imaging and self …

The recent surge to explore and exploit the effect of particle shape has led to several
interesting and unique observations in various diverse fields, ranging from biology to …

Control of interfacial interactions leads to a dramatic change in shape and morphology for
particles based on poly (styrene-b-2-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymers. Key to these …

Shape and morphology of polymeric particles are of great importance in controlling their
optical properties or self-assembly into unusual superstructures. Confinement of block …

We describe the self-assembly of nonspherical particles into crystals with novel structure
and optical properties combining a partial photonic band gap with birefringence that can be …

Nonspherical polymer particles (NPPs) are nano/micro-particulates of macromolecules that
are anisotropic in shape, and can be designed anisotropic in chemistry. Due to shape and …

The preparation of microparticles with non-spherical shapes has attracted increasing
interest because the special physical properties of non-spherical microparticles can …

Self-assembly of colloidal spheres confined within cells of different shapes formed with two
slides under capillary forces are studied. It is found that by controlling the shape of the cell …

This work reports a novel and facile route to generate spherical and bullet-like alginate
microcapsules with a core–shell structure based on the deformation of double-emulsion …

Polymer particles with controlled internal architecture are currently under development for a
number of emerging applications. In compartmentalized particles, well-defined pockets of …
