Entropy-driven segregation and budding in hybrid vesicles of binary nanoparticle amphiphiles

Self-assembly of giant building blocks beyond conventional molecules offers tremendous opportunities for the fabrication of new-generation structural materials. This work describes the macroscopic colloidal segregation in the vesicular self-assembly of binary nanoparticle amphiphiles (NPAMs) consist...
