A new class of donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA)-functionalized silica microspheres (SMs) is designed and described to formulate Pickering emulsions with inversion property and large polarity change upon visible light irradiation. By tuning the hydrophilicity of the functional SM particles with visible light, these Pickering emulsions can easily perform inversion from water-in-oil to oil in-water. The inversion performance of the emulsions is ascribed to DASA photoisomerization from an extended, hydrophobic, and intensely purple-colored triene to a compact, zwitterionic, and colorless cyclopentenone upon irradiation with visible light. This unique inversion behavior has been applied to control encapsulation and the release of fluorescein sodium salt.
