Improved Synthetic Methods for Patchy Particles

Patchy particles are patterned particles with at least one well-defined patch that can have highly directional and strongly anisotropic interactions with other particles or surfaces. Multiple theoretical studies point to interesting self-assembly of these particles into superstructures and, as a res...
