Research interests and
focuses currently have been divided into three categories (not limited to):
(I)
Janus Particles
A
zero-dimensional asymmetric material is a particle with two distinct
hemispheres, often referred to as the Janus particle. It carries not only two different
functionalities but also the spatial distribution of these functions. In recent years, significant attention has
been paid to Janus-type materials because of their potential applications in
dual-functional devices, structur materials for assembly, bistable display
applications, surfactants for emulsion systems, anisotropic imaging probes,
bimetallic nanometers, anisotropic plasmon materials, and more. LNCM group particularly developed a novel
fabrication strategy for the mass-production of submicron scaled Janus
particles, with high uniformity, tunable functionality ratio, and desired
functionalities. We successfully
demonstrated the fabrications of 2/1, 1/1, and 1/2 Janus particles, as well as
the ternary particles (also known as Saturn particles). Current research works focus on the
manipulation of dye- and Fe3O4- functionalized Janus
particles. Meanwhile, we also
investigate the asymmetric particle assembly in Janus particles.
為零維非對稱材料由兩個不同性質的半球組成，通常稱為Janus粒子。它不僅帶有兩個不同的官能基，也包括官能基在球體的空間分佈。近年來，Janus材料明顯受到人們的重視，因為它具有發展應用的潛力，例如:雙功能元件、組裝性結構材料、雙穩態顯示器的應用、表面活性劑的emulsion
systems、異向性成像探針、雙金屬奈米材料、異向性等離子體材料等等。 LNCM團隊特別開發一種新穎並且可大量生產的亞微米級Janus粒子，具有很高的均一性，並可調整官能基於粒子表面的比例和所需的官能基。團隊成功地做出2/1，1/1，1/2 Janus粒子，以及三元顆粒（也稱為土星粒子）。目前的研究工作主要在調控具有染料和Fe3O4官能的Janus粒子。同時，團隊還研究janus粒子的非對稱粒子的組裝。

Scanning Thermal Lithography (SThL)
LNCM
group has developed a novel Scanning Thermal Lithography (SThL) system integrated
by the Scanning Probe Lithography and the thermal probe capable of heating
sample surface up to 400oC. In
order to compensate the joule shortage during the conventional SThL, a
peroxide-based energetic is introduced to provide the in-situ heating from the thermal decomposition. We have demonstrated the low temperature SThL
for the silver nanoparticle synthesis and patterning on a polymer thin
coating.
LNCM團隊已建立一種新型的掃描式熱探針微影（SThL）系統，由掃描式探針微影系統以及能夠加熱樣品表面至高達400℃的熱探針所組成。為了補償在微影期間所需之焦耳熱的短缺，過氧化物類高能物質被引入系統中，可於熱裂解時放熱以進一步提供局部加熱效果。研究團隊已成功展示了以低溫SThL於高分子薄膜中進行銀奈米粒子的合成並同時繪製出圖形。

Electrospun Polymer and Inorganic Nanofibers
Electrospinning demonstrates a straightforward
fabrication for polymer-based one-dimensional nanomaterials. LNCM group is particularly interested in the
optoelectronic applications of the electrospun materials, including the light
scattering and propagation, the photovoltaics, the electrochromic, the hydrogen
production, the transparent conducting coatings, and more. Materials involved in such innovations cover
optical polymers, inorganic semiconductors, metals, and others.
