Self-assembly is the term used to describe the autonomous organization of pre-existing components into ordered structures or patterns from a disordered system. In self-assembly, the final (desired) ordered structures and functions depend on the information coded in individual components. It is well known that isotropic particles can form into amorphous and crystalline structures. Furthermore, with the advance in synthesis technology, the fundamental building blocks of the self-assembling systems have become more complex, which consequently increases the complexity of the structures and enriches the properties new materials can have.

Named after the two-faced roman god, Janus particles have gained much attention due to their potential in a variety of applications, including drug delivery. This is the first book devoted to Janus particles and covers their methods of synthesis, how these particles self-assemble, and their possible uses. By following the line of synthesis, self-assembly and applications, the book not only covers the fundamental and applied aspects, but it goes beyond a simple summary and offers a logistic way of selecting the proper synthetic route for Janus particles for certain applications. Written by pioneering experts in the field, the book introduces the Janus concept to those new to the topic and highlights the most recent research progress on the topic for those active in the field and catalyze new ideas.

The self-assembly of colloidal particles into larger structures is of interest both scientifically and technologically. The range of possible structures that may be formed by isotropically-interacting spherical particles is narrow, encompassing only a few possibilities. To overcome this limitation, one can introduce one or more forms of anisotropy to the particles to guide their self-assembly.In this work, we study the fabrication and behavior of polymeric microparticles that are chemically- and shape-anisotropic. Single-component, rod-shaped particles are fabricated by stop-flow lithography (SFL) using either hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. SFL is also used to fabricateJanus particles that incorporate both chemistries within a single particle. The dynamical behavior and self-assembly of these rods are investigated using fluorescence and confocal microscopy over a rangeof different aspect ratios and environmental conditions. We also developed image processing algorithms to enable the quantitative analysis of these data, adapting standard particle identification and tracking techniques to the analysis of rod-shaped colloids.Finally, we demonstrated the fabrication of colloidal particles with branched and more complex morphologies, and briefly studied the self-assembly of these "patchy" particles.

"Building new materials with structures on the micron and nanoscale presents a grand challenge currently. It requires fine control in the assembly of well-designed building blocks, and understanding of the mechanical, thermodynamic, and opto-electronic properties of the resulting structures. Patchy colloidal particles with sizes from nano to micrometers provide new building blocks for tomorrow's materials owing to the ability to control their valency and thus the architecture of the assembled structures. This thesis presents our experimental observations of multivalent colloidal self-assembly with critical Casimir forces. This solvent-mediated force allows particle interactions to be tuned with temperature and solvent composition, without the addition of any other component. By combining our synthesized multivalent colloidal particles with critical Casimir forces we assemble these building blocks into site-specific superstructures, and then investigate the relation between the particle potential and geometry, and the aggregate morphology by real-space confocal imaging, reciprocal near-field light scattering and Monte Carlo simulations."--Samenvatting auteur.
