Responsive emulsions with Janus topology constructed by magneto-surfactants and remote control of emulsion stability
The fluids with well-defined inner structure and intrinsic responsibility are demanding to the maintenance and regulation of normal functions in living systems. Inspired by this, responsive Janus droplets are constructed by small molecules of magneto-surfactants, and the traditional vortex mixing is...

| 520 | 3 | |a The fluids with well-defined inner structure and intrinsic responsibility are demanding to the maintenance and regulation of normal functions in living systems. Inspired by this, responsive Janus droplets are constructed by small molecules of magneto-surfactants, and the traditional vortex mixing is applied to guarantee large-scale fabrication. Silicone oil (SO) and Vegetable oil (VO) as two immiscible oils are introduced as inner phases of the Janus emulsions. The topology and subsequently the magnetic responsive performance of Janus emulsion is controlled by adjusting the oil composition with various viscosity, the surfactant concentration and the mass ratio of two oils. Moreover, the remote control of the emulsion stability is realized by the external magnetic field, of which the demulsification mechanism is investigated. The anisotropic and responsive droplets with advantages of deformability, encapsulation capability, and biocompatibility would expand the application of emulsions in targeted therapy, drug delivery and magnetic materials science. © 2022 The Authors | |
