Abstract

A Janus nanoparticle is a unique anisotropic nanoparticle which typically has two or more distinct surfaces, each with different properties. In the present study, we performed molecular simulations to investigate the morphologies and phase diagrams of self-assembled diblock and triblock Janus nanoparticles confined in nanotubes. We derived qualitative phase diagrams of the the axial pressure versus the ratio of the nanoparticle diameter to that of the nanotube. Two distinct types of nanotube wall, namely hydrophobic and hydrophilic, were considered. Moreover, we applied a shear flow to hydrophobic/hydrophilic these structure and observed change of structure.
