Controlled flats on spherical polymer colloids

Colloidal particles with heterogeneous surfaces offer rich possibilities for controlled self-assembly. We have developed a method for preparing micrometer-sized polystyrene spheres with circular flat spots of controlled radius and location. The flats are created by settling the particles onto a flat...

520 |a Colloidal particles with heterogeneous surfaces offer rich possibilities for controlled self-assembly. We have developed a method for preparing micrometer-sized polystyrene spheres with circular flat spots of controlled radius and location. The flats are created by settling the particles onto a flat glass substrate and then raising the temperature above the glass-transition temperature of the polymer for a controlled time (t). The polymer particle spreads on the glass such that the radius of the flat grows with time. We present a scaling theory for the hydrodynamics of the flattening process, finding that the radius of the flat grows as t(1/3). The model is in good agreement with our experimental observations of the flat radius versus spreading time as well as with previous studies in the literature for sintering polymer spheres
