An imine-based approach was developed to prepare Janus gold nanoparticles (Janus AuNPs) having amine functionality on one patch of the surface and a polyethylene glycol unit on the other. This unique technique features covalent bonding as the force to immobilize AuNPs on the template, enabling direc...
