Key Points

• The aim is to understand how the shape of Janus particles affects their motion at the air-water interface due to Marangoni stresses.
• Experimental and numerical studies on camphor-infused Janus particles at the air-water interface.
• Investigation of particle dynamics based on shapes such as circular and elongated.
• Development of a theoretical model combining camphor dynamics with particle transport.
• Circular particles displayed straight-line motion, while elongated particles followed circular trajectories.
• The radii and angular velocities of circular trajectories were determined by the geometry of the particles.
• The theoretical model successfully explained the relationship between chemical properties and the motion behavior.
