Puntos clave

This study investigates how the assembly of 2D surfactants in high internal phase emulsions affects the properties of conductive foams.
Examined particle distribution and emulsion structure in high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs).
Analyzed how different surfactant combinations influence the mechanical and conductive properties of resulting foams.
Demonstrated a significant correlation between particle distribution and emulsion architecture.
Alterations in surfactant types led to improved conductive properties in the assembled foams.

Resumen

Assembly of 2D surfactants within high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) provides a route to multifunctional open-cell foams; here, the relationships between particle distribution, emulsion architecture, and macroscopic properties are investigated.
