Dynamic Assembly of Viscoelastic Networks by Aqueous Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation and Liquid–Solid Phase Separation (AqLL‐LS PS2) (Adv. Mater. 51/2022)

Abstract

Viscoelastic Networks In article number 2205649, Ho Cheung Shum and co-workers develop a new aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) that displays dynamic assembly of viscoelastic networks by aqueous liquid–liquid phase separation and liquid–solid phase separation (AqLL-LS PS2). Viscoelastic networks are generated using liquid–liquid phase-separated DEX droplets as templates and the subsequent liquid-to-solid transition of the PNIPAM-rich phase.
