Abstract:Liquid marbles (LMs) are liquid droplets covered by hydrophobic solid particles adsorbed at liquid−gas interfaces. In this study, we designed pH-responsive LMs by using chitosan (CS) particles conjugated with stearic acid (SA) as a stabilizer, both of which are natural materials. Micrometer-sized CS-SA-conjugated particles were synthesized via a sustainable route based on solvent-free and one-pot thermal amidation between CS and SA. The resulting particles were extensively characterized on multiple scales by d… Show more
