particleshaped
Particleshaped is a term used in materials science and nanotechnology to describe the geometry and morphology of particles independent of size. It encompasses attributes such as the overall form (spherical, rod-like, plate-like, disk, cube) as well as surface features such as facet structure, edge sharpness, and roughness. Particle shape, or particleshaped, strongly influences how particles pack, flow in suspensions, and interact with light, solvents, and reactive species.
Characterization and descriptors: Researchers quantify particleshaped using imaging and scattering techniques. Electron microscopy (scanning electron microscopy
Impact and applications: Particleshaped affects packing density, rheology of suspensions, optical and plasmonic responses, catalytic surface
Control and synthesis: Shape is influenced by synthesis conditions including precursor concentration, temperature, solvent choice, additives,
