Liquid-fluid interfaces provide a platform both for structuring liquids into complex shapes and assembling dimensionally confined, functional nanomaterials. Historically, attention in this area has focused on simple emulsions and foams, in which surface-active materials such as surfactants or colloids stabilize structures against coalescence and alter the mechanical properties of the interface. In recent decades, however, a growing body of work has begun to demonstrate the full potential of the assembly of nanomaterials at liquid-fluid interfaces to generate functionally advanced, biomimetic systems. Here, a broad overview is given, from fundamentals to applications, of the use of liquid-fluid interfaces to generate complex, all-liquid devices with a myriad of potential applications.
液-液界面为将液体构建成复杂形状以及组装尺寸受限的功能性纳米材料提供了一个平台。从历史上看，该领域的研究重点一直是简单的乳液和泡沫，其中表面活性剂或胶体等表面活性材料可稳定结构以防聚结，并改变界面的机械性能。然而，近几十年来，越来越多的研究开始证明在液-液界面组装纳米材料以生成功能先进的仿生系统的全部潜力。本文将从基础到应用，对利用液-液界面生成具有众多潜在应用的复杂全液体装置进行广泛概述。
