Abstract

Polymeric and composite microspheres can be synthesized without solvents or process liquids by using superamphiphobic surfaces. In this method, the repellency of superamphiphobic layers to monomers and polymer melts and the extremely low adhesion to particles are taken advantage of.

Keywords: Janus particle; magnetic particles; microspheres; polymerization; superamphiphobic surfaces.
