METHODS FOR PRODUCING NANOPARTICLES AND USING SAME

摘要

A method for producing nanocomposite particles is provided. The method comprises supplying an organic phase fluid an organic phase fluid, an aqueous phase fluid, an amphiphile, and a plurality of hydrophobic nanospecies to a nozzle. An electric field is generated proximate the nozzle such that the fluid exiting the nozzle forms a cone jet that disperses into a plurality of droplets. The plurality of droplets are collected, and nanocomposite particles comprising a self-assembled structure encapsulating at least one hydrophobic nanospecies form by self-assembly.

1. A method for producing nanocomposite particles, the method comprising:
supplying an organic phase fluid to a nozzle, wherein the organic phase fluid comprises an organic solvent, an amphiphile, and a plurality of hydrophobic nanoparticles; generating an electric field proximate the nozzle such that the fluid exiting the nozzle forms a cone-jet that disperses into a plurality of droplets; collecting the plurality of droplets in an aqueous collection solution; and wherein nanocomposite particles comprising an amphiphilic micelle encapsulating at least one hydrophobic nanoparticle self-assemble in the aqueous collection solution.
