Abstract

A facile method for the fabrication of UV/pH dual-responsive TiO₂ nanocomposites is developed via UV deposition and solution immersion. The as-prepared materials enable reversible switchable surface wettability and controllable separation of both oil-in-water and water-in-oil surfactant-stabilized emulsions.
