Abstract
Janus particles, consisting of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and organic particles of the complexes of α-cyclodextrin and polyethylene glycol (5) nonylphenyl ether, have been successfully fabricated via strain-driven microphase separation, which is distinct from conventional surface wetting-driven microphase separation. The as-prepared Janus particles can self-assemble into hollow spheres, which draw a clear analogy with self-assembly of lipids to vesicles.
