Material assembly from heterogeneously charged nanoparticles
This project aimed at (i) the synthesis of heterogeneously charged particles at different length scales with a well-controlled charge surface pattern and (ii) the theoretical and experimental study of their collective assembly in 2 dimensional (2D) or 3 dimensional (3D) materials.
Experiments were carried in the groups of Dr. Peter van Oostrum and Prof. Serge Ravaine.
Project period: 01/05/2018 - 30/06/2022
