Heterodimers of nanoparticles: formation at a liquid-liquid interface and particle-specific surface modification by functional molecules.
On the basis of a fundamental property of nanoparticles, the self-assembling at a liquid-liquid interface to form "colloidosomes", a heterogeneous reaction takes place on the exposed surface of the nanoparticles to produce the heterodimers of two distinct nanospheres, which can be modified by two different functional molecules in a particle-specific manner.
