'PQ$m _1F`J Self assembled structures from colloidal particles have many applications in biology, as chemical sensors and as photonic crystals. [b]The control of shape and valency of the colloidal particle is very important since it will determine the 3D lattices of the assembled structure[/b]. There have been several prior effort to fabricating particles with complex shapes. Most particles with anisotropic shape are from the simple assembly of spheres or the modification of spherical particles. Interference lithography is one of the few techniques which can provide direct and systematic control over symmetry and volume fraction of the 3D structure. It involves the simple creation of interference patterns in a photoresist systems and subsequent pinch off of the parent structure through a drying process. [b]Researchers at MIT have now presented a new facile and high-yield route for the fabrication of highly nonspherical complex multivalent nanoparticles. This technique exploits the ability of holographic interference lithography to control network topology. These research results could lay the groundwork for establishing and demonstrating control over particle shape in colloidal nanoparticles.[/b]

"Compared to the previous techniques, such as microfilmed lithography and assembling and sintering spherical particles in a lithographically defined well (cavity), our approach gives us access to more complex and precisely controlled shapes with much higher through-put since we have a 3-dimensional yield" Dr. Edwin L. Thomas explains to Nanowerk.

luz Thomas is the Morris Cohen Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and head of the department as well as the Founding Director of the MIT Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies. In a recent paper in [b]Nano Letters[/b] ("Shape Control of Multivalent 3D Colloidal Particles via Interference Lithography"), he and his team report the use of holographic interference lithography (HIL) as an easy and high-throughput fabrication method for creating complex polymer particles with controlled symmetry, size, and highly nonconvex shapes.9IN._fGkp8]

v;kT HIL involves the formation of a stationary spatial variation of intensity created by the interference of two or more beams of light. The pattern that emerges out of the intensity distribution is transferred to a light-sensitive medium, such as a photoresist, to yield structures.

"Importantly, by proper choice of beam parameters, one can control the geometrical elements and volume fraction of the structures" Dr. Ji-Hyun Jang, first author of the paper, points out. "Our multivalent particles are fabricated by creating disconnected HIL structures in a negative photoresist" she says. "Manipulation of the experimental parameters of intensity, polarization, phase, and wave vectors of the interfering beams allows one to target specific space group structures."

"[b]The control of the particle shape was hard[/b]" says Thomas. "[b]Surface tension always favors convex particles.[/b]"

To get around this effect and to retain the pronounced nature of the “valency” and a strongly concave particle shape, the researchers chose a dry process. After an initial exposure and development, an isotropic etch using a stronger solvent, followed by supercritical CO2 drying to prevent distortion of the structure due to high surface tension forces, results in particles with the desired shape. Finally, the particles can be fully disconnected at the thinnest part of the arms between neighboring nodes to obtain the discrete multivalent colloidal particles. The particles were separated either by O2 plasma or UV/ozonolysis. Because the whole structure has very thin connections, O2 plasma or UV/ ozonolysis does not affect the final shape of the particle, but only decreases the size of the polymer particle by 2-3%.

Thomas says that, besides the common application of colloidal particles in self-assembled device, these "pointy" particles can be useful as a type of biological sensor. For example, magnetic nanoparticles with specific symmetry have been suggested as building blocks in supramolecular architecture as nanosensors for rapid detection of viruses with specific symmetry by providing the anchoring position. Another application has been suggested in the cosmetic industry where the concave particles can confer softness during their application and help to increase the adherence to the skin.T$T4j,D:y W,[
