FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a process for preparing a dual-ligand Janus structure nanoparticle by using the plasma etching re-modification technology. Firstly, preparing a polymer grafted nanoparticle single-layer film by a self-assembly technology, transferring the polymer grafted nanoparticle single-layer film to the surface of a substrate, removing a polymer on the upper surface of the nanoparticle by a plasma etching method, grafting a second polymer on the upper surface of the bare nanoparticle, and finally adding a good solvent for disassembly and assembly to obtain the dual-ligand Janus structure nanoparticle.
Tables 1, 2 and 3 are pictures of the surface contact angle change of nanoparticles in the process of preparing polystyrene and polyethylene oxide dual-ligand Janus structure nanoparticles by using polystyrene modified gold nanoparticles with different molecular weights, gold nanoparticles with the diameter of 8 nanometers, gold nanoparticles with the diameter of 15 nanometers and gold nanoparticles with the diameter of 24 nanometers through a plasma etching re-modification method. It can be seen that the contact angle of the monolayer film formed by gold nanoparticles modified by hydrophobic polymer polystyrene is about 80 °, which indicates that the upper surface of the nanoparticles is mainly covered by polystyrene. After plasma etching is adopted, the contact angle is reduced to about 10 degrees, which shows that the polystyrene on the upper surface of the nano particles is removed, the upper surface is in a naked state, and the contact angle is reduced because the gold has good hydrophilicity. After the hydrophilic polymer polyethylene oxide is modified, the contact angle is about 10-20 degrees, a small increase occurs, and the small increase occurs because the hydrophilicity of the polyethylene oxide is weaker than that of gold although the polyethylene oxide is a hydrophilic polymer, and the phenomenon also proves that the polyethylene oxide is successfully grafted to the upper surface of the gold nano-particles. The series of data in fig. 3 illustrates that for nanoparticles of different sizes and different molecular weights of surface ligands, dual ligand Janus nanoparticles can be successfully prepared by the method.

Fig. 3a, fig. 3b and fig. 3c are schematic diagrams of the process of controlling the grafting ratio of two ligands on the surface of the nanoparticles with Janus structure by controlling different etching powers in example 1, example 2 and example 3, respectively, and transmission electron microscope pictures. It can be seen that at the same etch time (5 minutes), etching with low power (6.8w) removed only about one third of the polystyrene, so that the resulting Janus nanoparticles, with a polystyrene to poly (4-vinylpyridine) ratio of about 2:1 (example 2); etching with moderate power (10.5w) removed about half of the polystyrene, thus producing the final Janus nanoparticles with a polystyrene to poly (4-vinylpyridine) ratio of about 1: 1 (example 1); etching with high power (18w) removes only about two thirds of the polystyrene, thus resulting in the final Janus nanoparticle prepared, with a polystyrene to poly (4-vinylpyridine) ratio of about 1:2 (example 3). Therefore, the etching degree is changed by controlling the etching power, the removal amount of the polymer on the upper surface of the nano particles and the exposed area of the upper surface of the nano particles can be effectively controlled, and the grafting proportion of the two ligands on the surfaces of the nano particles with the Janus structures is realized.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the invention, and that any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
