Understanding External Perturbation of Light-Responsive Pickering Emulsions by SANS/SEMSANS/SESANS

该项目旨在确定关键的结构-功能关系，使光响应型皮克林乳剂的设计成为可能。该项目将提高ISIS的SANS小组使用的技术(SANS、SEMSANS和SESANS)的能力，并为ISIS用户提供样本环境(带光曝光的超声波舞台)，同时新的科学理解将打开Pickering乳剂在不同部门的潜在应用。具体目标是：(I)设计一种光响应型Pickering乳剂模型，其参数空间可以系统地调整；(Ii)开发一种新的样品环境，在SANS实验期间实现原位超声和光照射；(Iii)识别关键的结构-性能特征，使其能够按需控制乳状液的光稳定性，从而产生一套光响应型Pickering乳剂的设计规则。

This project aims to determine the key structure-function relationships that enable the design of light-responsive Pickering emulsions. The project will advance capabilities of techniques used by the SANS group at ISIS (SANS, SEMSANS, and SESANS) and sample environments available to ISIS users (ultrasound stage with light-exposure), while new scientific understanding will open up potential applications for Pickering emulsions across different sectors. The specific objectives are: (i) to design a model light-responsive Pickering emulsion whose parameter space can be systematically tuned; (ii) to develop a new sample environment that enables in situ sonication and light irradiation during SANS experiments; (iii) to identify key structure-property characteristics that enable on-demand control of emulsion stability with light, leading to a set of design rules for light-responsive Pickering emulsions.
