Area: Complex Fluids and RheologyProject Description: This research will set out to develop novel light responsive Pickering emulsions for use in biomimetic applications and actuator technologies. The project will explore a range of Pickering emulsion particle types, configured with a range of surface modifications. Potential surface modifications may include the use of azobenze, stilbene or spyropyran groups. Samples will be assessed for their morphological changes in response to light of different wavelengths. Characterisation will be conducted on the samples using a range of techniques including dynamic light scattering, SEM, TEM and SANS. The project will focus on an understanding of the morphological changes that occur under light irradiation and an iterative approach taken to improve stability, response time and to maximise the advantageous mechanical properties of such materials. An effort will be made to produce non-toxic, environmentally responsible materials using scalable synthesis methods in order to target this research to industrial applications.

领域：复杂流体和流变学项目描述：这项研究将着手开发用于仿生应用和执行器技术的新型光响应型Pickering乳液。该项目将探索一系列Pickering乳胶颗粒类型，并配置一系列表面改性。潜在的表面修饰可以包括使用偶氮苯、二苯乙烯或螺吡喃基团。将评估样品在不同波长的光下的形态变化。将使用一系列技术对样品进行表征，包括动态光散射、扫描电子显微镜、透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜。该项目将侧重于了解在光照射下发生的形态变化，并采取迭代方法来提高稳定性、响应时间和最大限度地发挥此类材料的有利机械性能。将努力使用可扩展的合成方法来生产无毒、对环境负责的材料，以便将这项研究瞄准工业应用。
