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 …

Janus nanomaterials composed of two compartments with dissimilar compositions and/or
functionalities have garnered considerable interest over the past several decades owing to …

Droplet-based microfluidic systems have been shown to be compatible with many chemical
and biological reagents and capable of performing a variety of “digital fluidic” operations that …

The development of biomaterials for drug delivery, tissue engineering and medical
diagnostics has traditionally been based on new chemistries. However, there is growing …

Under the right process conditions, nanoparticles can cluster together to form defined,
dispersed structures, which can be termed supraparticles. Controlling the size, shape, and …

Colloidal particles may be considered as building blocks for materials, just like atoms are the
bricks of molecules, macromolecules, and crystals. Periodic arrays of colloids (colloidal …

Janus particles, colloid‐sized particles with two regions of different surface chemical
composition, possess energetic interactions that depend not only on their separation but …

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 …

Anisotropic particles, such as patchy, multicompartment and Janus particles, have attracted
significant attention in recent years due to their novel morphologies and diverse potential …

The use of particles as foam and emulsion stabilising species, with or without surfactants,
has received great interest in recent years. The majority of work has studied the effects of …
