Solvent-Induced Assembly of One-Patch Silica Nanoparticles into Robust Clusters, Wormlike Chains and Bilayers

We report the synthesis and solvent-induced assembly of one-patch silica nanoparticles in the size range of 100–150 nm. They consisted, as a first approximation, of silica half-spheres of which the truncated face was itself concave and carried in its center a polymeric patch made of grafted polystyr...
