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 …

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 nanotechnology and growing needs in biomedical applications have
driven the development of multifunctional nanoparticles. These nanoparticles, through …

Electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), also called electrospray technique, has been
studied for more than one century. However, since 1990s it has begun to be used to produce …

The site‐specific engineering of colloidal surfaces has provided a powerful approach to
pushing the boundaries of today's materials research. The resulting surface‐anisotropic and …

Janus composites with two different components divided on the same object have gained
growing interest in many fields, such as solid emulsion stabilizers, sensors, optical probes …

The development of synthetic methods for micro/nano materials with precisely controlled
structures, morphologies, and local compositions is of great importance for the advancement …

In this review we focus on the determination of phase diagrams by computer simulation, with
particular attention to the fluid–solid and solid–solid equilibria. The methodology to compute …

Colloidal micro-and nanoparticles with controlled internal architectures have attracted recent
interest because of their promising properties for drug delivery, molecular imaging and self …

Electrohydrodynamic printing (EHDP), based on the electrohydrodynamically induced flow
of materials, enables the production of micro/nanoscale fibers or droplets and has recently …
