Abstract
A property of water-based polymer blend microparticle system, in which individual particles were sequentially linked to form three dimensional chain structures was demonstrated. The structures were produced using a linear electric quadrupole as a particle focusing/positioning tool. The quadrupole rods were terminated in a Macor ring which was seated in a grounded aluminum o-ring flange. Monomer units were shown to be homogeneous and spherical to support optical resonances that were strongly coupled between particles due to large solid angle of intersection and size uniformity.
