Abstract:
A facile and versatile method for the synthesis of Janus graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with different structures is reported. Based on electrostatic assembly, Janus GO nanosheets can be easily functionalized with a template polymer or be defunctionalized by altering the ionic strength. By using this approach, Janus GO nanosheets are prepared successfully with hydrophobic polystyrene chains on one side and hydrophilic poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) chains on the other side.
