Abstract

We report the fabrication of novel hollow particles, with a hole engineered in the shell, via a coacervation technique. These particles are termed colloidal buckets. Two sets of conditions were explored: (i) lowering the operating temperature to reduce the solvent evaporation rate, and (ii) incorporation of a third component to alter the interfacial tensions between different phases. The particles were characterised by dynamic light scattering, gas adsorption and differential scanning calorimetry. The buckets had a higher surface area than spheres of the same size and the core was easily removed by washing in a suitable solvent.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
