LEWIS

Congratulations to Lewis for his recent publication on Advanced Materials.

In this study, we demonstrate the direct deformation and shape memory capabilities of micron-sized, lightly-crosslinked polystyrene particles using nanoimprint lithography. We exploit the ability to program and recovery new particle shapes to create a range of smart "Janus particles" with contrasting properties in conductivity and topography, by use of metal-layer constrained recovery.
(Picture on the left show a few examples of Cr-capped Ps particles after recovery.)
