Magnetic, thermosensitive microgels as stimuli-responsive emulsifiers allowing for remote control of separability and stability of oil in water-emulsions
Stimuli responsive magnetic emulsions are produced by using "smart" microgels as stabilizers. The oil droplets in the emulsions are magnetic, can be separated with a static magnetic field and are destabilized by an ac magnetic field. This allows for a remote control on separation and stability of the emulsion.
