Description
Investigators have developed a robust and feasible procedure to develop regular and ordered patches onto microspheres. The patterns formed on these microspheres are a heterogeneous phase of condensed molecules. These patches can be either used as a mask or site for further functionalization. These techniques can be explored for various kinds of microspheres (polymer, mineral and metallic), and patches (polymer, small molecules, metal and mineral) with different sizes (by changing the neighboring microspheres around a single particle), and number (by varying the crystalline packing).
