We show a facile synthetic route towards colloidal SiO2-based Janus particles with tunable asymmetries and functionalities based on the integrated use of silane mixtures, Pickering emulsions, and polydopamine chemistry. We demonstrate the generic nature of the concept and application potential by presenting several functionalities.
