This talk introduces a framework for the large-scale synthesis of a variety of uniform non-spherical particle types. Our technique involves controlling the directionality of phase separations by manipulating the elastic stress gradients of templates. We demonstrate that this precise control over phase separation patterns allows us to obtain novel non-spherical particle shapes with sufficient production quantities, while controlling their chemical anisotropy. Then, we show that giving both chemical and shape anisotropies to the particles enables them to self-assemble at curved interfaces. We also show that characterizing their bulk properties, such as their close-packed volume fractions, eventually enables precise prediction of rheological properties of their dense suspension. |
