Abstract

In previous experiments designed to mimic cell-receptor structures on biomaterial surfaces, we demonstrated that the evaporation of water-based suspensions containing polystyrene nanospheres created translucent nanostructured films enclosed by highly regular ring-shaped patterns. Here we show that similar nanospheres promote partial miscibility between liquids regarded as completely immisciblewater and perfluorocarbons. The result could indicate that solid nanoscopic aerosols from urban and industrial sources may ultimately be instrumental in reducing the concentration of ozone killers in the stratosphere.
