Development of Janus Particles as Potential Drug Delivery Systems for Diabetes Treatment and Antimicrobial Applications [PDF]
Pharmaceutics, 2023 Janus particles have emerged as a novel and smart material that could improve pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, and theranostics. Janus particles have two distinct compartments that differ in functionality, physicochemical properties, and ...

Amphiphilic Janus Particles Confined in Symmetrical and Janus-Like Slits. [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2023 We use Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the behavior of Janus spheres composed of attractive and repulsive parts confined between two parallel solid surfaces. The slits with identical and competing walls are studied. The adsorption isotherms of Janus particles are determined, and the impact of the density in the pore on the morphology is ...

Thermotaxis of Janus particles. [PDF]
Eur Phys J E Soft Matter, 2021 Abstract The interactions of autonomous microswimmers play an important role for the formation of collective states of motile active matter. We study them in detail for the common microswimmer-design of two-faced Janus spheres with hemispheres made from different materials. Their chemical and physical surface properties

Application of Janus Particles in Point-of-Care Testing [PDF]
Biosensors, 2022 Janus particles (JPs), named after the two-faced Roman god, are asymmetric particles with different chemical properties or polarities. JPs have been widely used in the biomedical field in recent years, including as drug carriers for targeted controlled ...

Amphiphilic Bowl-Shaped Janus Particles Prepared via Thiol–Ene Click Reaction for Effective Oil–Water Separation [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2023 Janus particles for oil–water separation have attracted widespread attention in recent years. Herein, we prepared a bowl-shaped Janus particle that could rapidly separate oil and water through a thiol–ene click reaction and selective etching.

Janus particles with tunable patch symmetry and their assembly into chiral colloidal clusters [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Janus particles, which have an attractive patch on the otherwise repulsive surface, have been commonly employed for anisotropic colloidal assembly. While current methods of particle synthesis allow for control over the patch size, they are generally ...

Evanescent field trapping and propulsion of Janus particles along optical nanofibers [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Manipulation of Janus particles is challenging and has limited precision. Here, the authors propose manipulation of Janus particles by optical forces in the evanescent field of an optical nanofiber, and demonstrate that they exhibit strong transverse ...

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.
