论文摘要
基于可变形的纳米颗粒(NP)铰链设计可重新配置的材料,以了解对这些NP可以采用的能量最受欢迎的形状。使用仿真,我们表明,由janus斑块,条纹和多面体分布的斑块等表面电荷图案量身定制的空心,可变形的斑块NP,对图案和离子强度的变化的响应,将其形状不同地适应,并转化为胶囊,半球,变量尺寸为碗,碗和多面角。讨论了NP表面电荷,形状和弹性能量密度的各向异性之间的联系。
Designing reconfigurable materials based on deformable nanoparticles (NPs) hinges on an understanding of the energetically-favored shapes these NPs can adopt. Using simulations, we show that hollow, deformable patchy NPs tailored with surface charge patterns such as Janus patches, stripes, and polyhedrally-distributed patches differently adapt their shape in response to changes in patterns and ionic strength, transforming into capsules, hemispheres, variably-dimpled bowls, and polyhedra. The links between anisotropy in NP surface charge, shape, and the elastic energy density are discussed.
