Dielectric studies on water dynamics in aqueous solutions of amphiphilic random copolymers confirm the self-assembly into globular like core–shell single-chain nano-particles (SCNPs) at concentrations well above the overlap concentration.

Self-assembly of amphiphilic single chain Janus nanoparticles (SCJNPs) is a novel and promising approach to fabricate assemblies with diversified morphologies. However, the experimental research of the self-assembly behavior of SCJNPs...

This study aims to apply the self-assembly process of particles to the fabrication of inverse opal structures, which improve the fabrication of catalysts and sensors. The process consists of two dip-coating steps. The first one is the production of sacrificial silica particles 1 or 2 µm in diameter. The second one is the fabrication of silver or gold nano-particles. After these processes, silica particles are dissolved to create the inverse opal structure. We demonstrate how changing the diameter of the sacrificial particle varies the size of the pores. Finally, we present how the patterned Ag and Au inverse opal structure can be created using the hydrophobic/hydrophilic patterned substrate.

Colloidal particles are prepared with a ‘spiky’ surface topography achieved by the self-assembly of gold nanorods onto the surfaces of spherical polystyrene cores. These core–shell assemblies exhibit surface plasmon resonance properties and serve as a platform for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements.
