Environmentally Responsive Emulsions of Thermotropic Liquid Crystals with Exceptional Long-Term Stability and Enhanced Sensitivity to Aqueous Amphiphiles

We report colloidally stable emulsions of thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs) that can detect the presence of amphiphilic analytes in aqueous environments. Our approach makes use of a Pickering stabilization strategy consisting of surfactant-nanoparticle complexes (SiO2/CnTAB, n = 8, 12, 16) that ads...
