Research Summary

Supracolloidal polymer chemistry. Design of supracolloidal structures through liquid-liquid interface driven assembly of colloidal building blocks. Particle stabilized heterogeneous polymerization strategies are used to fabricate a variety of structures: raspberry structured hybrid nano- and microcapsules, biomimetic inorganic skeletons via multistage assembly routes, non-spherical liquid droplets, multifaced patchy particles.
