ABSTRACT

Evaporation-induced assembly of constituent particles in tiny dispersion droplet allows an efficient way to realize nano-structured micro-granules with potential for various applications. Morphology of the granules, obtained by such one-step dispersion to granular transformation, is decided by several physicochemical conditions. Here we demonstrate that the inter-particle interaction plays a crucial role in deciding the assembled morphology. Resultant granules are investigated by complementary techniques, Electron microscopy and small-angle scattering.
