Controlled assembly of Janus nanoparticles.
Janus nanoparticles were prepared by interfacial ligand exchange reactions of octanethiolate-protected gold (AuC8) nanoparticles with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (MPD) at the air/water interface. AFM and TEM measurements showed that the resulting particles formed stable aggregates in water with dimensions up to a few hundred nanometers, in sharp contrast to the original AuC8 particles and bulk-e...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly and Water-like Anomalies in Janus Nanoparticles.
We explore the pressure versus temperature phase diagram of a system of dimeric Janus nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Each nanoparticle is modeled as a dumbbell which has one monomer that interacts by a standard Lennard-Jones potential while the other monomer interacts by a core-softened potential. The systems composed by particles interacting only by core-softened potential...
متن کاملSelf assembly of Janus ellipsoids.
We propose a primitive model of Janus ellipsoids that represents particles with an ellipsoidal core and two semisurfaces coded with dissimilar properties, for example, hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity, respectively. We investigate the effects of the aspect ratio on the self-assembly morphology and aggregation processes using Monte Carlo simulations. We also discuss certain differences between ...
متن کاملLight-controlled self-assembly of reversible and irreversible nanoparticle suprastructures.
Nanoparticles (NPs) decorated with ligands combining photoswitchable dipoles and covalent cross-linkers can be assembled by light into organized, three-dimensional suprastructures of various types and sizes. NPs covered with only few photoactive ligands form metastable crystals that can be assembled and disassembled "on demand" by using light of different wavelengths. For higher surface concent...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of tunable protein suprastructures from recombinant oleosin.
Using recombinant amphiphilic proteins to self-assemble suprastructures would allow precise control over surfactant chemistry and the facile incorporation of biological functionality. We used cryo-TEM to confirm self-assembled structures from recombinantly produced mutants of the naturally occurring sunflower protein, oleosin. We studied the phase behavior of protein self-assembly as a function...
