Chemically and topographically patterned nanoparticles (NPs) with dimensions on the order of tens of nanometers have a diverse range of applications and are a valuable system for fundamental research. Recently, thermodynamically controlled segregation of a smooth layer of polymer ligands into pinned micelles (patches) offered an approach to nanopatterning of polymer-functionalized NPs. Control of the patch number, size, and spatial distribution on the surface of spherical NPs has been achieved, however, the role of NP shape remained elusive. Here, we report the role of NP shape, namely, the effect of the local surface curvature, on polymer segregation into surface patches. For polymer-functionalized metal nanocubes, we show experimentally and theoretically that the patches form preferentially on the high-curvature regions such as vertices and edges. An in situ transformation of the nanocubes into nanospheres leads to the change in the number and distribution of patches; a process that is dominated by the balance between the surface energy and the stretching energy of the polymer ligands. The experimental and theoretical results presented in this work are applicable to surface patterning of polymer-capped NPs with different shapes, which then enables the exploration of patch-directed self-assembly, as colloidal surfactants, and as templates for the synthesis of hybrid nanomaterials.
