ABSTRACT Two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials are a new class of materials with unique
physical, chemical, and quantum properties. The name “Janus” originates from the ancient …

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 …

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 …

Recent advances in the self-assembly of block copolymers have enabled the precise
fabrication of hierarchical nanostructures using low-cost solution-phase protocols. However …

Self-assembly of molecular and block copolymer amphiphiles represents a well-established
route to micelles with a wide variety of shapes and gel-like phases. We demonstrate an …

Research on Janus nanoparticles has been thriving over the past few years, focusing both
on novel preparation strategies and on investigations of their unique properties. In this paper …

Compartmentalization is ubiquitous to many biological and artificial systems, be it for the
separate storage of incompatible matter or to isolate transport processes. Advancements in …

Anisotropic particles, such as patchy, multicompartment and Janus particles, have attracted
significant attention in recent years due to their novel morphologies and diverse potential …
