Abstract
A process for preparing emulsions of alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) nanoparticles via a nanoemulsion template (emulsion/evaporation) method has been developed. The effects of types and contents of stabilizing agents, i.e., anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB), amphoteric (phosphatidylcholine, PC), and polymeric (poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA), on the colloidal stability and hydrodynamic size of the AKD nanoparticles are investigated. The use of 0.1 wt % anionic SDS as a stabilizer generates nanoparticles with high stability and the smallest average size of 148 ± 5 nm. The environmentally friendly water-based emulsion prepared without halogenated compounds and harsh organic solvents is then applied to enhance the hydrophobicity of teakwood products by a simple dipping process. The properties and structures of the resulting treated woods are examined by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The treated woods show superhydrophobicity with a WCA value of 150 ± 2°, as the emulsion generates a hydrophobic layer covering the wood surfaces due to the β-ketoester bond formation and the arrangement of AKD hydrophobic tails. The nanosized nanoparticles can penetrate the dense structure of the teakwood and form similar bonding for up to a 0.8 mm depth, generating a protective water-repellent layer in the wood structure. The emulsion has high potential for use in the commercial production of value-added teakwood products, with excellent water-resistant properties and high dimensional instability, without altering their physical appearances.

Abstract
Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) refer to the integration of two or more chemically discrepant composites into one structure system. Studies into JNPs have been of significant interest due to their interesting characteristics stemming from their asymmetric structures, which can integrate different functional properties and perform more synergetic functions simultaneously. Herein, we present recent progress of Janus particles, comprehensively detailing fabrication strategies and applications. First, the classification of JNPs is divided into three blocks, consisting of polymeric composites, inorganic composites, and hybrid polymeric/inorganic JNPs composites. Then, the fabrication strategies are alternately summarized, examining self-assembly strategy, phase separation strategy, seed-mediated polymerization, microfluidic preparation strategy, nucleation growth methods, and masking methods. Finally, various intriguing applications of JNPs are presented, including solid surfactants agents, micro/nanomotors, and biomedical applications such as biosensing, controlled drug delivery, bioimaging, cancer therapy, and combined theranostics. Furthermore, challenges and future works in this field are provided.

Abstract
Functionalized Janus nanoparticles have received increasing interest due to their anisotropic shape and the particular utility in biomedicine areas. In this work, a simple and efficient method was developed to prepare fluorescent/magnetic composite Janus nanoparticles constituted of fluorescent polyurethane and hydrophobic nano Fe3O4. Two kinds of fluorescent polyurethane prepolymers were synthesized by the copolymerization of fluorescent dye monomers, and the fluorescent/magnetic nanoparticles were fabricated in one-pot via the process of mini-emulsification and self-assembly. The nanostructures of the resulting composite nanoparticles, including core/shell and Janus structure, could be controlled by the phase separation in assembly process according to the result of transmission electron microscopy, whereas the amount of the nonpolar segments of polyurethane played an important role in the particle morphology. The prominent magnetic and fluorescent properties of the Janus nanoparticles were also confirmed by vibrating magnetometer and confocal laser scanning microscope. Furthermore, the Janus nanoparticles featured excellent dispersity, storage stability, and cytocompatibility, which might benefit their potential application in biomedical areas.

Abstract
Janus particles (JPs) have attracted increasing attention from the communities of materials science, chemistry, physics, and biology. However, the nanoscale JPs that can switch shapes in response to an environmental stimulus is a significant challenge. In this article, we have demonstrated a simple procedure to fabricate the amphipathic Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) composed of hydrophilic body and hydrophobic lobe via using sudden negative pressure technique. Moreover, in response to temperature, the nanoparticles can recover to their initial nanosphere state by a switchable process, showing promising shape memory effect. Here, we can monitor the switchable nanostructures with hydrophilic and hydrophobic changes in the shape memory process of the JNPs by transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, and water contact angle. Furthermore, we successfully compare the differences in shape deformation ratio and shape recovery ratio using the three test methods by the statistical analysis of Student's t-test for independent samples. In addition, we also develop hybrid magnetic Janus nanoparticles, changed from the amphipathic JNPs by the selective attachment of magnetic nanoparticles with hydrophobic molecules, which show new Janus nanostructure and shape memory property.

Abstract
Enzyme-loaded water-in-oil Pickering emulsion is a promising system for biphasic catalytic reactions. In this paper, we report on oriented enzyme immobilization at the oil/water interface in a Pickering emulsion, in which CHO-Janus silica nanoparticles (CHO-JNPs) are utilized as a stabilizer of the emulsion and support for the enzyme to enhance both catalytic activity and recyclability. The catalytic performance of this immobilized enzyme (lipase from Candida sp.) was evaluated by esterification of hexanoic acid and 1-hexanol in a water/heptane biphasic medium. The results show that the specific catalytic activity of the immobilized enzyme (33.2 U mL-1) was 6.5 and 1.4 times higher than that of free enzyme (5.1 U mL-1) and encapsulated enzyme in the liquid core (23.3 U mL-1), respectively. Moreover, the immobilized enzyme demonstrated good stability and recyclability, retaining 75% of its activity after 9 cycles. We expect that oriented enzyme immobilization at the oil/water interface will be an important strategy for enhancing catalytic performance in Pickering emulsions.

Abstract
In the preparation of nanoparticles for drug delivery, it is well known that their size as well as their surface decorations can play a major role in interaction with living media. It is less known that their shape and internal structure can interplay with cellular and in vivo fate. The scientific literature is full of a large variety of surprising terms referring to their shape and structure. The aim of this review is to present some examples of the most often encountered surprising nanoparticles prepared and usable in the pharmaceutical technology domain. They are presented in two main groups related to their physical aspects: 1) smooth surface particles, such as Janus particles, "snowmen", "dumbbells", "rattles", and "onions" and 2) branched particles, such as "flowers", "stars" and "urchins". The mode of preparation and potential applications are briefly presented. The topic has a serious, wider importance, namely in opportunity these structures have to allow exploration of the role of shape and structure on the utility (and perhaps toxicity) of these nanostructures.

Abstract
The design and development of Janus suprabeads (JSs) with multiple responses are highly desirable in the fabrication of functional nanomaterials. In this work, we report a triphase microfluidic strategy for the construction of JSs with temperature-magnetism-optics triple responses. Initially, macromonomer poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) obtained via catalytic chain transfer polymerization (CCTP) was grafted onto the polystyrene (PS) colloidal photonic crystals (CPCs) surface. Because abundant carboxylic acid groups in PMAA could coordinate cadmium ions for in situ production of fluorescent CdS quantum dots (QDs) after introducing sulfur ions, the as-prepared JSs were endowed with favorable optical properties. Meanwhile, the as-prepared Cd(2+)/PS CPCs were employed as a template to build JSs with temperature-magnetism sensitivity via the introduction of magnetic Fe3O4 and hydrogels. Finally, the fluorescence pattern was easily performed by using chalcogenides as "ink" to write on the pad, in which in situ reaction mechanism was involved in the response. The multiple responsive JSs show promising applications in sensor, display, and anticounterfeit fields.

Abstract
For specific applications in the field of high gradient magnetic separation of biomaterials, magnetic nanoparticle clusters of controlled size and high magnetic moment in an external magnetic field are of particular interest. We report the synthesis and characterization of magnetic microgels designed for magnetic separation purposes, as well as the separation efficiency of the obtained microgel particles. High magnetization magnetic microgels with superparamagnetic behaviour were obtained in a two-step synthesis procedure by a miniemulsion technique using highly stable ferrofluid on a volatile nonpolar carrier. Spherical clusters of closely packed hydrophobic oleic acid-coated magnetite nanoparticles were coated with cross linked polymer shells of polyacrylic acid, poly-N-isopropylacrylamide, and poly-3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride. The morphology, size distribution, chemical surface composition, and magnetic properties of the magnetic microgels were determined using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry. Magnetically induced phase condensation in aqueous suspensions of magnetic microgels was investigated by optical microscopy and static light scattering. The condensed phase consists of elongated oblong structures oriented in the direction of the external magnetic field and may grow up to several microns in thickness and tens or even hundreds of microns in length. The dependence of phase condensation magnetic supersaturation on the magnetic field intensity was determined. The experiments using high gradient magnetic separation show high values of separation efficiency (99.9-99.97%) for the magnetic microgels.

Abstract
Encapsulation of enzymes during the creation of an emulsion is a simple and efficient route for enhancing enzyme catalysis in organic media. Herein, we report a capsule with a shell comprising a monolayer of silica Janus particles (JPs) (referred to as a monolayer capsule) and a Pickering emulsion for the encapsulation of enzyme molecules for catalysis purposes in organic media using amphiphilic silica JPs as building blocks. We demonstrate that the JP capsules had a monolayer shell consisting of closely packed silica JPs (270 nm). The capsules were on average 5-50 μm in diameter. The stability of the JP capsules (Pickering emulsion) was investigated with the use of homogeneous silica nanoparticles as a control. The results show that the emulsion stabilized via amphiphilic silica JPs presented no obvious changes in physical appearance after 15 days, indicating the high stability of the emulsions and JP capsules. Furthermore, the lipase from Candida sp. was chosen as a model enzyme for encapsulation within the JP capsules during their formation. The catalytic performance of lipase was evaluated according to the esterification of 1-hexanol with hexanoic acid. It was found that the specific activity of the encapsulated enzymes (28.7 U mL(-1)) was more than 5.6 times higher than that of free enzymes in a biphasic system (5.1 U mL(-1)). The enzyme activity was further increased by varying the volume ratio of water to oil and the JPs loadings. The enzyme-loaded capsule also exhibited high stability during the reaction process and good recyclability. In particular, the jellification of agarose in the JP capsules further enhanced their operating stability. We believe that the monolayer structure of the JP capsules, together with their high stability, rendered the capsules to be ideal enzyme carriers and microreactors for enzyme catalysis in organic media because they created a large interfacial area and had low mass transfer resistance through the monolayer shell.

In this review, we summarize recent advances in the synthesis of hybrid nanoparticles in miniemulsions since 2009. These hybrid nanoparticles include organic-inorganic, polymeric, and natural macromolecule/synthetic polymer hybrid nanoparticles. They may be prepared through encapsulation of inorganic components or natural macromolecules by miniemulsion (co)polymerization, simultaneous polymerization of vinyl monomers and vinyl-containing inorganic precursors, precipitation of preformed polymers in the presence of inorganic constituents through solvent displacement techniques, and grafting polymerization onto, from or through natural macromolecules. Characterization, properties, and applications of hybrid nanoparticles are also discussed.

Abstract
As compared to the traditional solid Janus particles, the hollow Janus particles have inspired growing interests due to their diverse potential applications. Herein, the novel hollow Janus particles with elephant trunk-like and acorn-like shapes were prepared by seed emulsion polymerization. In contrast to traditional template methods, the hollow structure was obtained during the preparation by one-step swelling method. The shapes and internal structures of hollow Janus particles were confirmed, and the compositions were identified too. Some critical influences on the morphology control were investigated, that is, the surface modification, the amount of surfactant, and cross-linking agent concentrations. It was inferred that the balance of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity and the effective phase separation were important for preparing the hollow Janus particles with tailored shapes. Finally, amphiphilic properties of hollow Janus particles were demonstrated by emulsifying oil-water mixture.
