How can liquid droplets be used for the synthesis of anisotropic colloids? In their Communication (DOI: 10.1002/anie.201800587), B. Liu and Z. Luo report a template strategy for the synthesis of anisotropic colloids with shapes that can be continuously tuned from discs to spheres to theta shapes to dumbbells. This method is based on creating structured shape‐tunable droplets from patchy colloidal discs and using these droplets as templates.

通过结构化液滴模板可调节形状的胶体

液滴如何用于合成各向异性胶体？B.Liu和Z.Luo在其《交流》（DOI：10.1002 / anie.201800587）中报告了一种合成模板胶的策略，该胶体具有可以从圆盘到球体，从theta形状到哑铃不断变化的形状。该方法基于从斑片状的胶体盘中创建结构可调节的形状的液滴，并将这些液滴用作模板。
