A photoresponsive emulsion : The authors describe an emulsion system that combines both the ability of the surfactant to undergo reversible adsorption at interfaces and the high sensitivity of the photoresponsive polymer to light. The type and stability of this system can be reversibly triggered by light upon a simple switch of the irradiation wavelength as schematically depicted by the sun, moon and lightning pathways.
