Porous materials possess numerous useful functions because of their highsurface area and ability to modulate the transport of heat, mass, fluids, andelectromagnetic waves. Unlike highly ordered structures, disordered porousstructures offer the advantages of ease of fabrication and high faulttolerance. Bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) arekinetically trapped disordered biphasic materials that can be converted toporous materials with tunable features. Current methods of bijel fabricationresult in domains that are micrometers or larger, and non-uniform in size,limiting their surface area, mechanical strength, and interaction withelectromagnetic waves. In this work, scalable synthesis of bijels with uniformand sub-micrometer domains is achieved via a two-step solvent removal process.The resulting bijels are characterized quantitatively to verify the uniformityand sub-micrometer scale of the domains. Moreover, these bijels have structuresthat resemble the microstructure of the scale of the white beetle Cyphochilus.We find that such bijel films with relatively small thicknesses (< 150 um)exhibit strong solar reflectance as well as high brightness and whiteness inthe visible range. Considering their scalability in manufacturing, we believethat VIPS-STRIPS bijels have great potential in large-scale applicationsincluding passive cooling, solar cells, and light emitting diodes (LEDs).
