We report the first example of the fabrication of pure, single-chain Janus particles (SCJPs). The SCJPs were prepared by double-cross-linking an A-b-B diblock copolymer in a common solvent. Inevitably, the double-cross-linking led to a mixture containing not only SCJPs but also multichain particles and irregular single-chain particles. Under well-controlled conditions, the SCJPs in the mixture self assemble with high exclusivity to form regularly structured macroscopic assemblies (MAs) with a crystal-like appearance that precipitate from the suspension. Pure SCJPs that are uniform in size, shape and Janus structure were efficiently prepared by collection and dissociation of the MAs. Block copolymers with different structural parameters were successfully used for the exclusive self-assembly (ESA), and pure SCJPs with varied structural parameters were produced, confirming the reliability of the ESA method.
