与往年一样，今年法国波尔多大学的CSC公派又开始了，再次受朋友委托，帮转发以下2015年的PhD招牌广告 (Deadline: Feb 5th 2015)，如果感兴趣的，请从速；希望有志留法的朋友们能积极申请，波尔多不会让你们失望，:-)  这个是法国与csc的公派专项，每年icmcb都能拿到几个名额，所以只需要直接联系老板，然后走下csc的官方程序即可。
具体申请或者咨询，请直接联系 Prof. Duguet: etienne.duguet@u-bordeaux.fr，建议附上你的CV， brief summary of you education background, research experience, reserach interest, motivation letter, list of publication, list of referrences with detailed contact information, proof of good level of French or English language proficiency 以及其他你觉得有用的信息。截至日期 Feb. 5th 2015

非学术问题，可以发我邮件liujizgd@gmail.com或者站内信，我尽我所能回复你们。




Research project proposed in the frame of the CSC/University of Bordeaux agreement to Chinese students interested in applying for a 4-year PhD grant

Synthesis and self-assembly of colloidal molecules

Hybrid organic-inorganic nanoparticles with well-controlled morphology are currently of great research interest. Synthetic routes leading to robust aggregates made of nanoparticles of different chemical natures which are associated in a controlled manner, i.e. number of nanoparticles and geometrical arrangement, are especially investigated. Clusters of spheres could mimic the space-filling models of simple molecules and are called “colloidal molecules” [1].
Our strategy is based on a seeded-growth emulsion polymerization process leading to biphasic particles, which are composed of spherical silica spheres (50-400 nm) surrounded by a varying number of polystyrene (PS) nodules [2]:
The hydrophilic surface of the silica seed particles needs to be previously functionalized with methacryloxymethyltrimethoxysilane (MMS). In such conditions, the nucleation/ growth of the PS nodules is highly promoted at the silica surface, leading to multipod-like morphologies (bipods, tetrapods, hexapods, octopods, etc.). A key feature of this strategy is the synthetic process is reproducible, fast and may yield grams of biphasic submicronic particles up to 80% purity [3,4].
The aim of the next work is (i) to extend the synthesis recipe to clusters mimicking more complicated molecules and (ii) to study their self-assembly in “colloidal macromolecules” and colloidal crystals of unconventional symmetry. Potential applications are expected in optics and catalysis.
