We demonstrate a novel system that exhibits both self-propelled motion and division of micrometer-sized oil droplets induced by chemical conversion of the system components. Such unique dynamics were observed in an oil-in-water emulsion of a benzaldehyde derivative, an alkanol and a cationic surfactant at a low pH.
我们展示了一种新型系统,该系统通过系统组件的化学转化展现出微米级油滴的自推进运动和分裂。在低pH值下,在苯甲醛衍生物、链烷醇和阳离子表面活性剂的水包油乳液中观察到了这种独特的动力学现象。
