Electrostatic-attraction-induced high internal phase emulsion for large-scale synthesis of amphiphilic Janus nanosheets

Chem Commun (Camb). 2019 Jan 24;55(9):1318-1321. doi: 10.1039/c8cc08892f.

Abstract

We report a novel and scalable method to obtain amphiphilic Janus nanosheets in large quantities. By inducing electrostatic attraction using alkylamine with further tuned particle interactions, a highly stable water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion was generated while simultaneously performing single-side graphene oxide hydrophobization at the fluid interface.
