Ordered assemblies of inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) have shown tremendous potential for
wide applications due to their unique collective properties, which differ from those of …

Colloidal Janus spheres in the bulk typically spontaneously assemble into plastic crystalline
phases, while particle orientations exhibit glasslike dynamics without long-range order …

Block copolymer melts are perfect candidates to template the position of colloidal
nanoparticles in the nanoscale, on top of their well-known suitability for lithography …

Taking advantage of both shape and chemical anisotropy on the same nanoparticle offers
rich self-assembly possibilities for nanotechnology. Through dissipative particle dynamics …

Numerous crystals and Frank–Kasper phases in two-dimensional (2D) systems of soft
particles have been presented by theoretical investigations. How to realize 2D crystals or …

Amphiphilic Janus particles in a flow are thought to experience a torque due to the
asymmetry in slip at their surfaces. This effect has the potential to destabilise self-assembled …

Block copolymer are ideal matrices to control the localisation of colloids. Furthermore,
anisotropic nanoparticles such as Janus nanoparticles possess an additional orientational …

Block copolymers and nanoparticles are elements of the soft matter family which includes
deformable materials and is increasingly part of industry and biological applications. Block …

The study of structure in glassy systems is a study of lengthscales. In experiment we try to
access those lengthscales directly with particle resolved systems. Improved microscopy …
