Abstract

See full text

The invention enables thin film particles of a controlled shape and size to be generated directly upon release of a thin film coating from a textured Substrate upon which they are grown directly. The substrate comprises an array of discrete, steep sided plateaus of a selected size and shape, from which discrete particles of a corresponding shape and size are releasable usually by means of an intermediate release layer coating on the plateaus. The process is readily scalable for high volume production and permits monomodal or multimodal particle size distributions. Such particles may be used as specialised pigments in the security, anti-counterfeiting, defence and cosmetics industries.
