The invention discloses methods for making micron/nano meter sized
particles of various inorganic materials such as
minerals/oxides/sulphides/metals/ceramics at a steadily expanding
liquid-liquid interface populated by suitable surfactant molecules that
spontaneously organize themselves into superstructures varying over large
length-scales. This experiment is realized in a radial Hele-Shaw cell
where the liquid-liquid interfacial growth rate and consequently time
scales such as arrival of surfactant molecules to the interface, the
hydrodynamic flow effect to modulate the material organization into super
structures at the dynamic charged interface.
