Abstract
ABSTRACTAs the development of nanostructured materials continues to blossom, there is increasing attention to functionalised particles. The so-called Janus particles are anisotropic regions having different physicochemical properties. The recent development of their synthesis in a pH field during suspension as bipolar particles between electrodes has opened the door to improved scalability due to the ease of entraining particles as a slurry in a flowing electrolyte stream. Potential application areas span catalysis of chemical synthesis, sustainable energy conversion and pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors of industry. In view of their versatility, the ability to undergo surface modification and opportunities for facile scale-up, Janus particles might be deployed as building blocks to fabricate functional surfaces having tailored chemical, structural and surface anisotropy. They could prove to be valuable feedstock in 3-D printing and surface finishing of fast prototype components and devices.
