Abstract

Abstract : A new concept, termed all‐liquid molding to produce all‐liquid objects is introduced by Shaowei Shi, Thomas P. Russell, and co‐workers in article number1705800 . End‐functionalized ligands anchor to nanoparticles with complementary functionalization at the oil–water interface making nanoparticle surfactants that jam and stabilize liquids shaped in a mold. Such sculpted liquids retain all the characteristics of the liquids, very much like a solid, and provide a new platform for next‐generation soft materials.
