Janus magnetic particles, which can be customized for various multifunctionalities, have promising potential for cancer therapeutic carriers. Herein we synthesized iron oxide nanocube (IONC) patched Janus magnetic nanocarriers (IONCs-P-JMNC) using emulsification and interface evaporation/assembly. Novel IONC patches were generated with an optimal ratio of CTAB and oleic acid coated IONCs in the emulsion. 2D assembled IONC patched Janus magnetic porous silica nanocarriers (IONCs-P-JMNC) formed with the addition of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The anisotropically IONC patched Janus nanocarriers, allowing effective MRI T2* contrast and magneto-mechanical properties, are expected to be used for a new type of multifunctional carrier in cancer therapeutic applications.
