The figure captions for Fig. 2–5 were in the wrong order. They are as follows:

Fig. 2 (a) Free energy profiles for homogeneous nanoparticles with Δ = 0 (solid line, black), Δ = 0.05σ (dotted line, red), Δ = 0.10σ (dashed line, green), Δ = 0.15σ (dot-dashed line, blue), Δ = 0.20σ (double-dot-dashed line, magenta), and Δ = 0.25σ (dot-double-dashed line, cyan). (b) Free energy barrier against Δ. Squares show barrier for the A component, circles show barrier for B component. Open symbols denote simulation results, filled symbols from eqn (7).

Fig. 3 (a) Free energy profiles for Janus nanoparticles with Δ = 0 (solid line, black), Δ = 0.05σ (dotted line, red), Δ = 0.10σ (dashed line, green), Δ = 0.15σ (dot-dashed line, blue), Δ = 0.20σ (double-dot-dashed line, magenta) and Δ = 0.25σ (dot-double-dashed line, cyan). (b) Detachment energy against Δ. Circles (black) show the simulation barrier (open symbols free rotation, filled symbols fixed orientation) and squares (red) show results of eqn (8).

Fig. 4 (a) ‹cosΦ› against nanoparticle-interface separation for Janus nanoparticle with Δ = 0.05σ (solid line, black), Δ = 0.10σ (dotted line, red), Δ = 0.15σ (dashed line, green), Δ = 0.20σ (dot-dashed line, blue) and Δ = 0.25σ (double-dot-dashed line, magenta). Inset shows ‹Φ(0)› against Δ. (b) Probability maps P(z, cosΦ) for Δ = 0.05σ (top), 0.10σ (middle), and 0.25σ (bottom). (c) P(cosΦ) for z = 0 (top) and z = -10σ (bottom). Symbols as in (a).

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
