Versatile Bifunctional Magnetic‐Fluorescent Responsive Janus Supraballs Towards the Flexible Bead Display

Abstract

The first microfluidic synthesis of ionomer-based bifunctional Janus supraballs possessing two distinct magnetic-nanoparticle-dropped and quantum dots–polymer hemispheres within an anisotropic structure is reported. Based on such Janus supraballs with stable fluorescence and superparamagnetism, a magnetoresponsive fluorescent switch is developed to realize free-writing under a magnetic field. This is a promising, simple way to fabricate novel flexible bead displays. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
