Propulsion of zwitterionic surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil droplets by low electric fields

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Apr 2. doi: 10.1039/d3cc05464k. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe show directional and controllable propulsion of zwitterionic surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil droplets driven by low electric fields. Our results suggest that the propulsion mechanism is based on stimulus-responsive on-demand interfacial phenomena.PMID:38563781 | DOI:10.1039/d3cc05464k
