Janus microcylinders composed of different polymers were prepared through coaxial co-jetting with dual-core flows, followed by cross-linking, microsectioning, and shell removal. Uniquely shaped building blocks can be fabricated by photo-patterning of one hemisphere of the microcylinders.

Article Synopsis
- Agrichemical losses pose a significant threat to the environment, partly due to the high salt content in some compounds that affects their stability and effectiveness, as well as causing soil hardening.
- The innovative sodium deoxycholate amphiphilic emulsifier creates stable Janus core-shell emulsions that show improved oil-water interaction, leading to a 37.70% larger deposition area when applied compared to traditional emulsions.
- This Janus emulsion not only reduces the release rate of harmful substances into soil by forming a protective shell but also enhances the microbial community around it, demonstrating a promising method for improving agrichemical performance while minimizing environmental risks.
Tailored Morphology in Polystyrene/Poly(lactic acid) Blend Particles: Solvent's Effect on Controlled Janus/Core-Shell Structures.

Controlling the morphology of polymeric particles is vital for their diverse applications. In this study, we explored how solvent composition influences the morphology of poly(styrene)/poly(lactic acid) (PS/PLA) particles prepared via the emulsion solvent evaporation method. We used toluene, dichloromethane (DCM), and various mixtures to prepare these particles.

Photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for H O production in the absence of sacrificing agents is a green approach and of great significance, where the design of photocatalysts with high performance is the central task. Herein, a spatial specific S-scheme heterojunction design by introducing a novel semiconducting pair with a S-scheme mechanism in a purpose-designed Janus core-shell-structured hollow morphology is reported. In this design, TiO nanocrystals are grown inside the inner wall of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin hollow nanocakes with a reverse bumpy ball morphology (TiO @RF).

The majority of research on Janus particles prepared by solvent evaporation-induced phase separation technique uses models based on interfacial tension or free energy to predict Janus/core-shell morphology. Data-driven predictions, in contrast, utilize multiple samples to identify patterns and outliers. Using machine-learning algorithms and explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) analysis, we developed a model based on a 200-instance data set to predict particle morphology.

Among the properties that distinguish nanoparticles (NPs) from their bulk counterparts is their lower melting points. It is also common knowledge that relatively low melting points enhance the coalescence of (usually) nascent nanoclusters toward larger NPs. Finally, it is well established that the chemical ordering of bi- (or multi-) metallic NPs can have a profound effect on their physical and chemical properties, dictating their potential applications.
