| Abstract | Nanocomposite microcapsules of silica and surfactants have been synthesized using evaporation induced self-assembly through spray drying. It was established using electron microscopy and small-angle neutron/X-ray scattering experiments that the viscosity of the virgin dispersion and surface charge of colloidal components play a significant role in the buckling of spray droplets during drying. Hollow spherical grains are realized at relatively low viscosity and higher surface charge while mushroom like grains manifest at higher viscosity and lower surface charge. In the intermediate conditions, deformed doughnut shaped microcapsules are obtained. Scattering experiments establish the presence of the organization of micelle like aggregates of surfactants in the dried grains and also corroborate with the observations from electron microscopy. A plausible mechanism regarding the chronological pathways of morphological transformation is illustrated. Computer simulation, based on buckling of an elastic shell using a surface evolver, has been attempted in order to corroborate the experimental results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
