| description | Abstract The combination of multifunctionality and synergestic effect displayed by hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) has been revealed as an effective stratagem in the development of advanced nanostructures with unique biotechnology and optoelectronic applications. Although important work has been devoted, the demand of facile, versatile and efficient synthetic approach remains still challenging. Herein, we report a feasible and innovative way for polymer-shell assembling onto gold nanoparticles in competitive conditions of hydrophobic/hydrophilic feature and interfacial energy of components to generate core-shell nanohybrids with singular morphologies. The fine control of reaction parameters allows a modulated transformation from concentric to eccentric nanostructure-geometries. In this regard, a rational selection of the components and solvent ratio guarantee the reproducibility and efficiency on hybrid-nanoassembly. Furthermore, the simplicity of the synthetic approach offers the possibility to obtain asymmetric Janus NPs and new morphologies (quizzical-aspheric polymer-shell, named Emoji-N-hybrids) with adjustable surface-coating, leading to new properties and applications that are unavailable to their symmetrical or single components. |
