Spiky and Dendritic Microparticles: Design, Synthesis, and Emerging Applications
Microparticles with long surface protrusions, either as rigid spikes or flexible dendrites, represent a unique class of colloidal materials. Their chemical and structural features give rise to properties and functions that differ fundamentally from those of similarly shaped nanoparticles, with applications in drug delivery, biofilm disruption, and adhesive technologies. Their distinctive spiky or dendritic morphologies alter interparticle interactions, and regulate particle–environment interactions. Synthesizing these particles is inherently challenging, as colloidal particles naturally favor smooth surfaces to minimize surface energy. This review highlights key synthetic strategies, including seeded growth, emulsion-templated synthesis, and polymer precipitation under turbulent shear. We describe the particles produced via these processes and their applications, and discuss future challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.
期刊介绍:
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
