TEMPLATE-SHAPE DEPENDENCE ASSEMBLY OF JANUS NANOPARTICLES AT WATER-OIL INTERFACE

In this work, we investigated the crystal formation of anisotropic nanoparticles, namely Janus particles, at the water-oil interface using the dissipative particle dynamics simulation method. By considering three different interface templates, including planar, droplet, and rod, we observe an increase of the disorder-order transition packing fraction with increasing the curvature radius of the templates. Furthermore, the nanoparticles in the planar template assemble into a hexagonal lattice, while for the two remaining templates they aggregate into colloidsome-like structures.

Temperature-Responsive Morphology Formation of PS-b-PI copolymer: A Dissipative Particle Dynamics Simulation Study

Self-assembly responsiveness to stimuli of polystyrene-block-polyisoprene (PS-b-PI) diblock copolymer materials are explored by means of classical molecular dynamics (MD) and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. A concerted relationship between the...
