Synthesis of Janus particles via kinetic control of phase separation in emulsion droplets

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Oct 28;49(84):9746-8. doi: 10.1039/c3cc45813j.

Abstract

A reaction-induced phase separation strategy in emulsion droplets has been developed to fabricate non-spherical Janus particles. The final morphology of the resulting Janus particles is controlled by a reaction sequence. These Janus particles are amphiphilic and show regio-selective adsorption orientation at oil/water interfaces.
