Straightforward preparation of supramolecular Janus nanorods by hydrogen bonding of end-functionalized polymers

Janus cylinders are useful as building blocks for advanced functional materials but challenging to prepare. Here, the authors describe a robust strategy to form micrometer long Janus nanorods by self-assembly in water of end-functionalized polymers.
