Fig. 8 — Effect of different surface morphologies and NP size on membrane insertion. a Representative images of different nanoscale morphologies for 1:1 and 2:1 MUS:OT surface compositions. Hydrophilic MUS ligands are depicted in red, while hydrophobic OT chains are represented in white. b Free energy change for insertion as a function of NP diameter for mixed (M), random (R), striped (S), patchy (P), and Janus (J) morphology for 1:1 and 2:1 MUS: OT particle. An all-MUS particle is included for reference. [Adapted with permission from (Van Lehn and Alexander-Katz 2014a). Copyright (2014) Royal Society of Chemistry]
