A method to modify colloidal particles with silica rods in a water/ n -pentanol system is reported here. Because of the interfacial tension between aqueous and  n -pentanol phase, water which surrounds the colloidal particles de-wets into droplets during the deposition process of silica. As a result of unidirectional deposition, silica rods grow perpendicularly on the surface of the colloidal particles at the site of the smallest curvature where the water droplet has been de-wetted. By controlling the hydrolysis conditions, particles with certain number of branches or rambutan-like particles can be obtained. This approach opens a path towards the higher levels of colloidal complexity.
