| description | Abstract In this study, the potential of complex emulsions is investigated as transducers in sensing applications. Complex emulsions are stabilized without external detergents by developing a novel α‐cyanostilbene substituted with PEG and semi‐perfluoroalkyl chain (CNFCPEG). CNFCPEG exhibits unique variable emission properties depending on its aggregation state, allowing dual blue and green emissions in complex emulsions with hydrocarbon‐in‐fluorocarbon‐in‐water (H/F/W) morphology. The green excimer emissions result from the self‐assembly of CNFCPEG at the fluorocarbon/water interface, while the blue emission observed is due to aggregation in the organic phase. A novel flow‐injection method is developed by incorporating complex emulsions with CNFCPEG into multiple‐well flow chips (MWFC). Iodine is successfully detected in a mobile aqueous solution by monitoring morphology changes. The findings demonstrate that self‐stabilized complex emulsions with MWFC hold great promise for real‐time sensing without costly instruments. |
