Abstract
AbstractLiquid marbles show promising potential for application in the microreaction field. The efficient and precise approach for the remote coalescence of liquid marbles is desirable. Herein, the ultraviolet‐light–induced wettability transition of TiO2 nanoparticles is exploited to develop an ingenious approach for efficient and controlled coalesce of contacting liquid marbles containing separate reagents. This approach is generic and provides ideas for the on‐demand initiation of multistep microreactions inside liquid marbles.
