Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Emulsion inversion</bold>, from water‐in‐oil (w/o) to oil‐in‐water (o/w), was accomplished by employing tetrahydropyran‐containing ligands that undergo facile deprotection, converting the nanoparticles from hydrophobic to hydrophilic. These ligand‐tailored nanoparticles were used to prepare w/o emulsions that were disrupted, and inverted, to o/w systems simply by lowering the solution pH. The inversion process could be triggered by light using a photoacid generator.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg22f25dkq" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
