受天然细胞组织的结构和功能的启发，基于液滴界面双层（DIB）的材料战略性地将联合收割机模型膜组装技术和液滴微流体技术相结合。这些结构已经在从生物计算到化学微型机器人的应用中显示出有希望的结果。这篇专题文章简要探讨了DIB网络的构建，操作和功能化领域的最新进展;讨论了它们独特的机制;并重点介绍了我们实验室在该平台发展中的贡献。我们还反思了基于DIB的材料所面临的一些限制以及如何解决这些限制，突出了通过改进材料概念而可能实现的有前景的应用。
Inspired by the structure and functionality of natural cellular tissues, droplet interface bilayer (DIB)-based materials strategically combine model membrane assembly techniques and droplet microfluidics. These structures have shown promising results in applications ranging from biological computing to chemical microrobots. This Feature Article briefly explores recent advances in the areas of construction, manipulation, and functionalization of DIB networks; discusses their unique mechanics; and focuses on the contributions of our lab in the advancement of this platform. We also reflect on some of the limitations facing DIB-based materials and how they might be addressed, highlighting promising applications made possible through the refinement of the material concept.
