From: Substrate geometry modulates self-assembly and collection of plasma polymerized nanoparticles
Distribution of nanoparticles in wells of various aspect ratios. a Secondary electron microscopy (SEM) images of plasma polymerized nanoparticles (PPN) collected using polystyrene well plates of a varied number of wells. Scale bar is 2 µm. b Size distribution of as-synthesized PPN collected on different plates of varying number of wells. PPN aggregation formed clusters of varying size and shapes, resulting in multiple peak contributions (labeled by Pn, n = 1,...,5) to the overall distribution envelope. SEM images show representative PPN populations for each contribution. Scale bars are 500 nm. c Hydrodynamic size distribution of PPN dispersed in water for different types of well plates. The polydispersity index (PDI) for each sample is shown as inset in the corresponding graph. Samples were synthesized at an input power of 50 W and working pressure of 150 mTorr
