Abstract

Janus nanodiscs of diblock copolymers are prepared by stepwise disassembly of PS-b-P4VP disc-stacked particles. The Janus nanodiscs are uniform in thickness and regular in contour. By preferential growth of functional materials at the positively charged P4VP side, the composition, microstructure, and performance of the Janus nanodiscs are tunable.

Keywords: Janus nanodisc; confinement; diblock copolymers; disassembly; self-assembly.
