Surfaces mediated Supraparticles' Fabrication

Research scope

News

  • Developing facile microfabrication techniques for the production of two dimensional and hierarchical structures, and using the patterned surfaces as the substrate for the preparation of biomolecule (protein, DNA, etc.) patterns.

  • Fabricating anisotropic ring arrays via colloidal lithography and dewetting assisted by colloidal crystals and evaluate the adhesion behaviours of cells that incubated on this kind of substrate.

  • Preparing surfaces with anisotropic wetting and suprawetting properties based the ordered arrays that possess high aspect ratio or asymmetric structure, which were fabricated on the bulk materials surface directly (Silicon, Silica, Polymer, et al.).

  • Prepare supraparticles (mono/hybrid, highly porous) on superamphiphobic surfaces, build the first prototype "Microparticle Factory" for the fabrication of functional supraparticles in an organic-solvent free, high throughput manner.
