Abstract
Synthetic methods for the manufacture of segmented nanoparticles are described.
Claims25
A method for the manufacture of a freestanding segmented nanoparticle by the deposition of a plurality of materials inside a template, comprising:
- a) causing deposition of a first material into a pore of said template;
- b) causing deposition of a second material into said pore of said template, wherein the deposition of at least one of said first material and said second material is electrochemical deposition;
- and
- c) releasing said segmented nanoparticle from said template to provide a freestanding segmented nanoparticle having a length from 10 nm to 50 μm and a width from 5 nm to 50 μm, wherein said freestanding segmented nanoparticle comprises 50 or fewer segments.
