  • Self-assembled tunable networks of sticky colloidal particles
    Patent number: 9707716
    Abstract: Self-assembled tunable networks of microscopic polymer fibers ranging from wavy colloidal “fur” to highly interconnected networks are created from polymer systems and an applied electric field. The networks emerge via dynamic self-assembly in an alternating (ac) electric field from a non-aqueous suspension of “sticky” polymeric colloidal particles with a controlled degree of polymerization. The resulting architectures are tuned by the frequency and amplitude of the electric field and surface properties of the particles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2017
    Assignee: UCHICAGO ARGONNE, LLC
    Inventors: Arnaud Demortiere, Oleksiy (Alexey) Snezhko, Maksim Sapozhnikov, Nicholas G. Becker, Thomas Proslier, Igor S. Aronson
