Triphasic nanocolloids, that is, nanocolloids with three distinct compartments, were successfully produced by use of electrified co-jetting. Simultaneous manipulation of the three parallel liquid with laminar flows yielded a liquid droplet with three interfaces between the jetting liquids. Under a high electric potential, a single liquid jet was produced from the triple point of the droplet. Separation between the phases was maintained throughout the jetting process and resulted in triphasic nanocolloids. Poly(ethylene oxide), poly(acrylic acid), and poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) solutions were used and verified to be compatible with the process. Fluorescent-labeled biomolecules were selectively incorporated in each phase of the nanocolloids, and confocal laser scanning microscopy was employed for the characterization. Scanning electron microscopy results verified that the sizes of the colloids are in the range of nanocolloids. This simple and versatile technique to fabricate multicompartment nanocolloids is expected to have great impact on drug delivery, molecular imaging, and smart displays.
