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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
