Particle assembly at liquid-liquid interfaces presents a promising bottom-up strategy for creating supramolecular materials with advanced functionalities. However, the significantly lower interfacial tension observed in immiscible organic phases compared to traditional oil-water systems has hindered effective adsorption and of particles oil-oil interfaces. In this work, versatile is presented that utilizes jamming microgels polymer ligands non-aqueous create Pickering emulsions reconfigurable droplet networks. The resulting microgel-polymer complexes form an asymmetric bilayer high surface coverage, which effectively minimizes energy improves elasticity. Through combination systematic measurements molecular dynamics simulations, underlying mechanisms governing self-assembly are elucidated. Notably, stimuli-responsive nature allows precise control over disassembly by introducing competitive molecules. Furthermore, it demonstrated these serve as excellent templates fabrication heterogeneous organogels microgel-based colloidosomes through both covalent non-covalent crosslinking strategies. This work underscores potential advancing science opens new avenues developing multifunctional materials.

Encapsulation of Liquids via Polymer Precipitation in Emulsions

Journal of Polymer Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

ABSTRACT Microencapsulation strategies enable the confinement of sensitive active materials in a protective shell, giving capsules with applications across pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, agriculture, textiles, cosmetics, and energy storage. Among different approaches, soft template encapsulation method is widely used technique that leverages emulsions as templates forms spherical microcapsules liquid core polymeric shell. Within emulsion umbrella, interfacial polymerization, phase internal separation, polymer precipitation can all be used. The main limitation polymerization will inevitably contain impurities such residual monomers, which affect performance encapsulated material. This especially relevant when efficiency strongly depends on its pristine composition. In this perspective, we focus soft‐template for capsule formation, complementarity approach to more polymerization. Polymer cores (or payloads) include those are viscous, hygroscopic, reactive.
