Query: Design of Patchy Particles using Ternary Self-Assembled Monolayers   Recent simulations have studied the formation of patterns in a binary mixture
of immiscible surfactants absorbed onto the surface of a spherical
nanoparticle. The resulting patterns (Janus, spots and stripes) were in good
agreement with experimental results. We perform dissipative particle dynamics
(DPD) simulations to study the patterns obtained by adding a third surfactant
to the monolayer as a guide towards increasing the richness and diversity of
patchy particles synthesized this way. We predict a variety of new patterns
that can be produced through different combinations of simple design elements,
like nanocolloid size, degree of surfactant immiscibility, stoichiometry of the
monolayer, and length difference between surfactants. In all cases, free energy
minimization through conformational entropy maximization determines equilibrium
pattern formation.
