Janus Particles

We demonstrate the self-assembly of ‘hard–soft’ micron-sized Janus particles into clusters in aqueous media. Upon the coalescence of the soft polymeric lobes, the newly formed clusters adopt a minimized surface area to volume ratio forming distinct microscopic supracolloidal structures.

AbstractVarious biofunctional hydrogel materials can be fabricated in aqueous media through the self-assembly of peptide derivatives, forming supramolecular nanostructures and their three-dimensional networks. In this study, we describe the self-assembly of new Fmoc-dipeptides comprising α-methyl-L-phenylalanine. We found that the position and number of methyl groups introduced onto the α carbons of the Fmoc-dipeptides by α-methyl-L-phenylalanine have a marked influence on the morphology of the supramolecular nanostructure as well as the hydrogel (network) formation ability.
