Emulsion polymerization using Janus particles as stabilizers.

Janus particles (JPs) are compartmentalized colloids thatpossess two sides of different chemistry or polarity. Theseparticleshavemovedintothefocusofvariousresearchgroupsinthefieldsofphysics,chemistry,andbiologicalscience.Oneof the major challenging aspects in the synthesis of suchparticles is the production of larger quantities to allowinvestigationsoftheirapplicationpossibilities.Severaltwo-dimensional (2D) techniques, such as sputtering or micro-contactprinting,onlyleadtoasmallamountofmaterial.
