Structures of amphiphilic Janus discs in aqueous media

Abstract

The solution behavior of a novel type of amphiphilic colloid, Janus discs, is explored in terms of their size. Small Janus discs can be individually dispersed in water, with a significant hydrophobic face exposed to water, whereas larger Janus discs undergo bending to stabilize and shield the hydrophobic face.
