Continuous flow synthesis of patchy particles with designed resonances and interactions (A03)

A03的目标是使用连续流动工艺制造部分金属包覆的介质颗粒，即具有定义的贴片大小和结构的“片状颗粒”，并将新的重点放在缺陷和稳定性上。合成将是自动化的，对片状粒子共振进行光谱测量，作为反馈回路的输入，以调整试剂浓度，从而产生具有预测颜色的材料。在功能化过程中使用贴片作为随后可移除的掩膜将导致具有片状表面化学的球形粒子，这将被研究其各向异性相互作用，它们在液体界面上的排列，并用于产生用于层析的超粒子。

The objective of A03 is the fabrication of partially metal-coated dielectric particles, known as "patchy particles" with defined patch size and structure using a continuous flow process, with a new focus on defects and stability. The synthesis will be automated, spectroscopic measurement of the patchy particle resonances used as input to a feedback loop to adjust the reagent concentrations so that material with a predicted colour is produced. Using the patch as a subsequently removable mask during functionalisation will result in spherical particles with patchy surface chemistry, which will be studied regarding their anisotropic interactions, their arrangement at liquid interfaces and used to produce supraparticles for chromatography.
