Directed Self‐Assembly of Patchy Microgels into Anisotropic Nanostructures

Multi‐geometry nanostructures with high‐order, complex, and controllable geometries have attracted extensive attention in the development of functional nanomaterials. A simple and versatile strategy is proposed to construct various anisotropic nanostructures through the directed self‐assembly (DSA) of patchy microgels. A general criterion for interaction parameters is developed by the variance analysis method to achieve the formation of 1D...
