Janus ultrathin film from multi-level self-assembly at air-water interfaces

Ultrathin free-standing Janus films were fabricated at air-water interfaces using azopyridine derivatives and poly(acrylic acid) via multi-level self-assembly on molecular and microscopic scales, which showed distinct asymmetric water wetting abilities on different surfaces.
