Microcapsules are reviewed with special emphasis on the relevance of controlled
mechanical properties for functional aspects. At first, assembly strategies are presented that …

“On‐the‐fly” molecule enrichment by micro/nanomotors obviously improves heterogeneous
catalysis, trace detection, and environmental monitoring, yet faces challenges of the trade …

The heterostructure consisting of ultrathin microporous carbon and graphene can exhibit
many interesting properties benefiting from their unique physicochemical structure, and thus …

A facile and robust strategy to fabricate organocatalyst-functionalized hollow double-shelled
nano-bowl was developed for the first time by hard-templating synthesis. After the core was …

A one-step sol–gel method was developed to synthesize nonspherical organosilica particles
with tunable morphology. The morphology of organosilica particles can be tuned from …

Here we present a facile yet robust strategy to prepare polymer nano-bowls through 3D
confined assembly and disassembly of block copolymers. Unlike the previously reported …

A simple and effective template-free method to prepare monodisperse carbon spheres has
been successfully developed using solid poly (styrene-co-divinylbenzene)(P (St-co-DVB)) …

Bowl-shaped particles in sub-micrometer scale represent an interesting platform for many
potential applications. However, controlled fabrication of this special structure based on …

We employ the coupled dipole method [BW Kwaadgras, et al., J. Chem. Phys., 2011, 135,
134105] to calculate the orientation-dependent interaction of polarizable colloidal rods with …

The self-assembly of amphiphilic copolymers has attracted much attention because of their
various morphologies and potential applications. Bowl-shaped nanoparticles could apply in …
