This Review examines recent developments in the morphological control of polymer
microspheres fabricated via the phase separation of polymers as well as the alignment of …

The cooperative self-assembly of polystyrene-b-poly (4-vinylpyridine) block copolymers
(BCPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) confined within the emulsion droplets is studied by …

Geometrically structured polymer nanocolloids, including Janus nanocolloids, have been
widely investigated for their unique properties, which are derived from their anisotropy …

The range of applicability of nanoparticle aggregates in surface enhanced Raman
spectroscopy (SERS) sensing is limited. Therefore, in this work, an alternative route is …

A new technology platform built on the integration of theory and experiments to enable the
design of Janus colloids with precision control of surface anisotropy and amphiphilicity could …

The present report describes the preparation of asymmetric polystyrene-block-poly (t-butyl
acrylate)(PS-b-PtBA) particles having virus-like surface structures. Submicron-sized virus …

Size segregation of nanoparticles with different sizes into highly ordered, unique
nanostructures is important for their practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate …

The self-assembly of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) into gold nanoparticle vesicles (GNVs) has
been a topic of significant interest in recent years. However, the formation mechanism of …

Optical matter (OM) systems consist of nano-particle constituents in solution that, when
illuminated with a laser beam, can self-organize into ordered arrays bound by …

To realize a highly sensitive immunoassay, high-optical-density probes conjugated with
antibodies for target antigens are needed to increase the detectability of antigen–antibody …
