Self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers display a multiplicity of nanoscale periodic
patterns proposed as a dominant tool for the 'bottom-up'fabrication of nanomaterials with …

Janus membranes are an emerging class of materials having opposing properties at an
interface. This structure results in selective and often novel transport characteristics. In this …

Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) refer to the integration of two or more chemically discrepant
composites into one structure system. Studies into JNPs have been of significant interest …

With recent progress in interfacial solar steam generation, direct solar desalination is
considered a promising technology for providing a clean water solution through a cost …

Symmetric shapes and patterns are fascinating and preferred by humans as symmetric
stimuli of any kind are more easily processed by the visual systems than their asymmetric …

Janus particles are colloidal particles with more than a single type of surface chemistry or
composition, ranging in size from hundreds of nanometers to a few micrometers. Like …

Differently from passive Brownian particles, active particles, also known as self-propelled
Brownian particles or microswimmers and nanoswimmers, are capable of taking up energy …

In recent years, the self-assembly of copolymer micelles has become an appealing frontier
of supramolecular chemistry as a strategy to construct superstructures with multiple levels of …

Janus nanomaterials composed of two compartments with dissimilar compositions and/or
functionalities have garnered considerable interest over the past several decades owing to …

Although the concept of Janus particles was raised in the early 1990s, the related research
has not attracted considerable interest until recently due to the special properties and …
