a MD simulations revealing the diffusion process of DMSO from the oil phase (colored in yellow) to the water phase (colored in blue). b, c Spatial distribution of atoms, denoted as n, corresponding to DMSO molecules, at the end of the diffusion: b the density of DMSO along the direction vertical to the interface, and c the density distribution of DMSO in the water-toluene system. d AFM image of the interfacial film formed by PAN particles. e DLS results showing size-dependence of PAN particles on contents of chaperone DMSO. The scale bar is 200 nm.
