Janus Particles: 1- Design and Preparation [PDF]
Baspārish, 2022 In Roman religion, Janus was a god known as the custodian of the universe. He was usually shown with two heads in opposite sides to look in two directions at the same time. The term "Janus" is used to describe particles that have two faces with different

Polarization of active Janus particles [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2014 We study the collective motion of Janus particles in a temperature or concentration gradient. Because of the torque exerted by an external or self-generated field, the particles align their axis on this gradient. In a swarm of self-driven particles, this polarization enhances the interactiondriven confinement.

Janus particle microshuttle: 1D directional self-propulsion modulated by AC electrical field
AIP Advances, 2014 A catalytic Janus particle is capable of gaining energy from the surrounding fuel solution to drive itself to move continuously, which has an important impact in different fields, especially the field of micro-systems.

Electrostatic interactions between Janus particles [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2012 In this paper we study the electrostatic properties of “Janus” spheres with unequal charge densities on both hemispheres. We introduce a method to compare primitive-model Monte Carlo simulations of the ionic double layer with predictions of (mean-field) nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. We also derive practical Derjaguin Landau Verwey Overbeek (DLVO)-

Symmetrical Catalytic Colloids Display Janus‐Like Active Brownian Particle Motion
Advanced Science, 2023 Catalytic Janus colloids, with one hemi‐sphere covered by a hydrogen peroxide reduction catalyst such as platinum, represent one of the most experimentally explored examples of self‐motile active colloid systems. This paper comparatively investigates the

Controllable Assembly and Application of Janus Smart Nanosheets for Oil Displacement
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2020 Based on the development status of low permeability reservoirs, an intelligent nano-flooding agent is needed to improve the displacement efficiency of reservoirs. Janus particles have the characteristics of small size and strong interfacial activity, and
