Product description
Product Name: Monodisperse Polystyrene (PS) Micro/Nanospheres
Monodisperse Polystyrene (PS) Particles are highly uniform, perfectly spherical polymer colloids prized for their exceptional control over particle size and narrow size distribution (monodispersity). This precise control is critical for applications where particle-particle interactions and packing density are essential.
Due to their inert nature and easy surface functionalization, PS particles serve as the gold standard for calibration, reference materials, and the creation of highly ordered materials.
Primary Applications
Materials Chemistry & Functional Surfaces:
Colloidal Crystals: Used as building blocks to create self-assembled photonic crystals (ordered structures that manipulate light) and other two- or three-dimensional ordered materials.
Templates for Porous Materials: Employed as sacrificial templates to fabricate highly uniform porous ceramics, metals, or carbon materials (e.g., in battery electrodes or catalysts).
Biochemical / Life Sciences:
Calibration Standards: Ideal for calibrating equipment such as Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) instruments, Flow Cytometers, and Particle Counters due to their precise and known diameter.
Immunodiagnostics: Used in assays like latex agglutination tests and as components in lateral flow devices.
Polymers & Biomaterials:
Rheology and Viscosity Studies: Used as model systems to study the physical properties and flow behavior of suspensions.
