- This paper addresses scaling-up production of Janus "swimming" colloids for future drug delivery and medical diagnostic technologies to exploit them for rapid mass transport. Previous manufacturing methods required vacuum equipment. Here, for the first time, we make equivalent colloids using a low energy scalable bulk solution process. Many colloidal trajectories prepared with different chemical functionalisations were analysed to ensure rigour. This work enables real world applications, and was recognised as a significant advance in review articles (doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201908283) and a report on the gram-scale manufacture of Janus colloids (doi.org/10.1002/adma.201807382).
