title: Synthesis of size-monodisperse spherical Ag@SiO2 nanoparticles and 3-D assembly assisted by microfluidics.
abstract: This article reports a one-step approach for the fabrication of highly uniform, spherical Ag particles with tailored dimensions ranging from 10 to 30 nm. Coated with silica shell, the high uniformity of the particles allows their spontaneous assembly into millimeter-long extended 3-D arrays with transverse dimensions of tens of micrometers, using a microfluidic evaporation-based process.
