Liquid interfacial tension design of building new concept materials

New concept materials have greatly driven social and technological progress. The preparation of new concept materials is closely related to the design of their material interfaces. Especially in some emerging material systems, such as active materials, adaptive materials, and liquid-based materials, the stability of liquid interfaces plays a crucial role. Due to the different forms of liquid interfacial stability that arise from high and low interfacial tension, a variety of methods for designing new concept materials have been developed. Recently in Science, Angelini and colleagues proposed an ultralow interfacial tension design method for precise 3D creations. Not only that, more and more material systems that apply high and low interfacial tension designs are rapidly developing, just like the development of smart and complex liquid-based materials, which show huge development prospects and a broad array of applications.
