Janus nanoparticles as versatile phase-transfer reagents.
Janus nanoparticles were prepared by interfacial ligand-exchange reactions of hexanethiolate-protected gold (AuC6) nanoparticles with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (MPD) at the air|water interface. As nanoscale analogues to conventional amphiphilic molecules, the resulting Janus nanoparticles were found to form oil-in-water micelle-like or water-in-oil reverse micelle-like superparticulate structu...
متن کاملComparison of the interfacial activity between homogeneous and Janus gold nanoparticles by pendant drop tensiometry.
The interfacial activity of 3.5 nm homogeneous (HPs) and amphiphilic Janus gold nanoparticles (JPs) was characterized by pendant drop tensiometry for water/air and water/decane interfaces. This technique requires a smaller quantity of nanoparticles than the traditional Langmuir balance technique. The direct deposition at the interface of the nanoparticles dispersed in a spreading solvent also r...
متن کاملControlling the localization of nanoparticles in assemblies of amphiphilic diblock copolymers.
We performed a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approach to study the self-assembly of AB diblock copolymer tethered nanoparticles (P) in dilute solutions. Different morphological aggregates, including spherical micelles, vesicles, disk-like micelles and rod-like micelles, were found by varying the interaction between block copolymers and nanoparticles. Most importantly, the nanoparticles ca...
متن کاملPEG-POSS assisted facile preparation of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles and interface formation of Janus nanoparticles.
A general approach to transfer water-soluble nanoparticles with different shapes, sizes, and surface charges into organic solvents, retaining their surface charge properties was developed, and its application in fabrication of hybrid Janus particles with opposite charges in solution was also demonstrated.
متن کاملMicelle and Bilayer Formation of Amphiphilic Janus Particles in a Slit-Pore
We employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the self-assembly of amphiphilic Janus particles in a slit-pore consisting of two plane-parallel, soft walls. The Janus particles are modeled as soft spheres with an embedded unit vector pointing from the hydrophobic to the hydrophilic hemisphere. The structure formation is analyzed via cluster size distributions, density and polarization ...
