Surface-mediated buckling of core–shell spheres for the formation of oriented anisotropic particles with tunable morphologies†
Abstract
In this paper we report a surface-mediated growth process for oriented anisotropic particles with tunable morphologies. The morphology of the anisotropic particles can be tuned and the generality of this process is checked. This process also provides a new avenue for constructing ensembles of anisotropic particles.
