Anisotropic particles from a one-pot double emulsion induced by partial wetting and their triggered release.
A family of anisotropic particles is synthesized via a facile, scalable, and versatile method based on a conventional double emulsion, which is very well suited for practical production and applications. Partial wetting theory is well established as a powerful instrument to elucidate the controlled phase separation within the double emulsion. This theory is employed to assist the manipulation of the phase separation process for the formation of well-defined nonspherical particles as well as their triggered release.
