| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Self-assembly of nanoparticles is used in various functional materials that are familiar to our daily lives. In other words, the self-assembly and those functions have a strong relation. The Janus nanoparticle is a unique anisotropic nanoparticle that typically has two or more distinct functional surface regions (for example, hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions). In this study, I have performed molecular simulations to investigate morphologies of the self-assembled Janus nanoparticles. As a result, evidence of rich polymorphic structures of the Janus nanoparticles is revealed for the first time, and I found some conditions which are observed highly ordered morphologies tend to form.
