Two immiscible liquids can mix upon the addition of a co-solvent. This ternary mixture allows for the dispersion of colloidal particles via careful tuning of the particle surface chemistry. The mixture can be induced to undergo spinodal decomposition upon removal of the solvent, providing a powerful platform to produce bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels (bijels) by arresting this phase separation with nanoparticles. This alternative approach for the formation of bijels has been termed ‘solvent transferinduced phase separation’(STrIPS). 1 STrIPS represents an innovation in the
