One-step synthesis of Janus hybrid nanoparticles using reverse atom transfer radical polymerization in emulsion†
Abstract
Janus hybrid multicomponent nanoparticles have been synthesized by one-step reverse atom transfer radical polymerization in emulsion, which reduces the requirement of reaction conditions. Janus nanoparticle structure has been controlled by adjusting the reaction time, ratio of styrene monomers to gold nanoparticles, time of addition of gold colloids and reaction temperature.
