Large scale synthesis of Janus submicron sized colloids by wet etching anisotropic ones.

چکیده
Janus colloids have inspired growing interests due to their diverse potential applications. Herein, we present a facile approach to fabricate Janus submicron sized colloids by the selective etching of anisotropic colloids. Size ratio, microstructure and composition are tunable. The method can be scaled up, which is the key to further exploit practical applications.

Multiscale modeling of anisotropic wet chemical etching of crystalline silicon
– We combine ab initio and Monte Carlo simulations in multiscale modelling of anisotropic wet chemical etching of silicon. The anisotropy of the macroscopic etching patterns observed in the experiments is explained by two mechanisms at an atomistic scale: the weakening of backbonds following OH termination of surface sites and the existence of significant interaction between the surface-termina...
متن کاملSimple method to produce Janus colloidal particles in large quantity.
A simple, generalizable, inexpensive method is demonstrated to synthesize Janus colloidal particles in large quantity. At the liquid-liquid interface of emulsified molten wax and water, untreated particles adsorb and are frozen in place when the wax solidifies. The exposed surfaces of the immobilized particles are modified chemically. Finally, wax is dissolved, and the inner surfaces are modifi...
متن کاملPickering emulsion as a template to synthesize Janus colloids with anisotropy in the surface potential.
A versatile new concept is presented for the synthesis of Janus colloids composed of Laponite nanoclay armored poly(divinylbenzene) with an anisotropic surface potential via a double Pickering emulsion template. First, polystyrene or poly(divinylbenzene) colloids stabilized with Laponite nanoclay are synthesized via a Pickering miniemulsion approach. These nanoparticle-stabilized colloids were ...
متن کاملColloidal Synthesis of Gold Semishells
This work describes a novel and scalable colloid chemistry strategy to fabricate gold semishells based on the selective growth of gold on Janus silica particles (500 nm in diameter) partly functionalized with amino groups. The modulation of the geometry of the Janus silica particles allows us to tune the final morphology of the gold semishells. This method also provides a route to fabricating h...
متن کاملAnisotropic particles templated by Janus emulsion.
Anisotropic particles, with morphology from crescent to moon shape and size from micrometer to nanometer scale, are fabricated in batch scale with Janus emulsion as template. The strategy is also useful in the synthesis of Janus particles with chemically distinct hemispheres.
