Abstract
Janus composite particles (JPs) with distinct compartmentalization of varied components thus performances and anisotropic shape display a variety of properties and have demonstrated great potentials in diversify practical applications. Especially, the catalytic JPs are advantageous for multi-phase catalysis with much easier separation of products and recycling the catalysts. In the first section of this review, typical methods to synthesize the JPs with varied morphologies are briefly surveyed in the category of polymeric, inorganic and polymer/inorganic composite. In the main section, recent progresses of the JPs in emulsion interfacial catalysis are summarized covering organic synthesis, hydrogenation, dye degradation, and environmental chemistry. The review will end by calling more efforts toward precision synthesis of catalytic JPs at large scale to meet the stringent requirements in practical applications such as catalytic diagnosis and therapy by the functional JPs.

Development of Janus Particles as Potential Drug Delivery Systems for Diabetes Treatment and Antimicrobial Applications. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020423. [PMID: 36839746 PMCID: PMC9967574 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Janus particles have emerged as a novel and smart material that could improve pharmaceutical formulation, drug delivery, and theranostics. Janus particles have two distinct compartments that differ in functionality, physicochemical properties, and morphological characteristics, among other conventional particles. Recently, Janus particles have attracted considerable attention as effective particulate drug delivery systems as they can accommodate two opposing pharmaceutical agents that can be engineered at the molecular level to achieve better target affinity, lower drug dosage to achieve a therapeutic effect, and controlled drug release with improved pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This article discusses the development of Janus particles for tailored and improved delivery of pharmaceutical agents for diabetes treatment and antimicrobial applications. It provides an account of advances in the synthesis of Janus particles from various materials using different approaches. It appraises Janus particles as a promising particulate system with the potential to improve conventional delivery systems, providing a better loading capacity and targeting specificity whilst promoting multi-drugs loading and single-dose-drug administration.

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
Inspired by the phenomenon of water droplets hanging over rose petals, we propose a green interfacial self-assembly strategy to construct amphiphilic particles with controllable compartments for dual-drug encapsulation and controlled release. The method involves fabrication of "sticky" superhydrophobic materials, assembling superhydrophilic hydrogel beads with "sticky" superhydrophobic material into an amphiphilic particle, and amphiphilicity induced self-organization of several small amphiphilic particles into a large-sized amphiphilic multicompartmental particle. With the employment of this approach, amphiphilic particles with tailored sizes, controllable morphology, and tunable numbers of compartments are successfully constructed. The formation process and the underlying principle are further clarified. We finally investigate the potential application of the amphiphilic multicompartmental particles to load both hydrophilic and hydrophobic species in separated domains and release them in a controllable manner without interference. This novel approach may offer a new route to generate amphiphilic materials for the purpose of multidrug combination therapy, multiple-cell encapsulation, and so on.

Abstract
A Janus membrane/mesh is a type of functional membrane/mesh composed of opposing wetting properties formed into a single layer in order to achieve novel properties. Janus membranes/meshes have attracted increasing attention from materials scientists due to their promising applications in the fields of microfluid transportation, water-oil separation and cleaning energy applications. Herein, we report a simple method to fabricate a Janus mesh by combining opposite wettability functions into one copper mesh substrate. The superhydrophilicity is achieved by chemical etching and the superhydrophobicity is fabricated by hydrophobic SiO2 nanoparticle spraying. Due to its special composition and structure, the prepared mesh demonstrates distinct wetting properties on its two sides. Meanwhile, aqueous fluids can pass through the mesh from the hydrophobic side to the hydrophilic side spontaneously, whilst being blocked by the mesh when coming from the other direction. This unique property can realize unidirectional transportation of water fluids. The mechanism of the unique property based on Janus wettability is proposed and the stability of the prepared Janus mesh was also tested. The prepared Janus mesh can be used in the fields of microtidal energy, the chemical industry and in astronautics, demonstrating promising practical prospects.
