Surfactants trapped at a liquid-liquid interface can allow non-equilibrium liquid geometries and solid-like interfacial mechanical behavior. Here, we use dissipative chemical energy to enable these surfactant interfacial assemblies to reconfigure them, changing their shape and properties at a prescribed time. This structured liquid system is adaptive without the need for an external stimulus and generates liquid compartments that destabilize after a certain lifetime, initiating coalescence, mixing, or release of chemicals set to a built-in chemical timer.

使用耗散界面组件的液体瞬态结构

滞留在液-液界面的表面活性剂可以实现非平衡液体几何形状和类固体界面机械行为。在这里，我们使用耗散化学能使这些表面活性剂界面组件能够重新配置它们，在规定的时间改变它们的形状和性能。这种结构化的液体系统无需外部刺激即可自适应，并生成在一定寿命后不稳定的液体隔室，从而启动设置为内置化学计时器的化学物质的聚结、混合或释放。
