Small molecules induce mesocrystal formation: nanoparticle aggregation directed by self-assembling calixarenes
Calixarenes have been shown to induce mesocrystal formation of barium sulfate, despite being relatively low molecular weight additives. Scanning probe microscopy has shown that a possible mechanism is the self-assembling properties of the calixarene resulting in steric stabilization of the nanoparti...
