Résumé en anglais

Binary colloidal particles of polyhedral morphology, obtained by an emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of silica seeds, are studied. Because Of kinetic effects, composite particles usually exhibit polydispersity in size, shape, and composition. Thus, accurate techniques aiming at characterizing the size and the shape, as well as the composition and surface properties of such objects, are required. In this work, we use charge detection mass spectrometry (CD-MS) as a tool for the characterization of nanometer-sized composite (clusters of) particles. CD-MS measures both the mass and the charge for each ion. This single ion mass spectrometry technique enables one to construct a histogram of mass, yielding the mass distribution. CD-MS for molar mass determination and composition of composite particles is demonstrated to be complementary to transmission electron microscopy. The study of the charging capacity of these composite particles in the gas phase also appears as a valuable approach to probe the surface area of such complex nano-objects, thus giving some insight about their structure and morphology.< Réduire
