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，使光响应皮克林乳液的设计成为可能。该项目将提高ISIS SANS小组使用的技术（SANS、SEMSANS和SESANS）的能力，并为ISIS用户提供样品环境（光暴露超声阶段），而新的科学理解将为皮克林乳剂在不同领域的潜在应用开辟道路。具体目标是：(1)设计一种参数空间可系统调节的光响应皮克林乳剂模型；（ii）开发一个新的样品环境，以便在SANS实验期间进行现场超声和光照射；（iii）确定关键的结构-性质特征，使乳液的稳定性在光照下按需控制，从而形成一套光响应皮克林乳液的设计规则。

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.
