These advantages make them widely applicable in the cosmetics industry, food industry, aerospace, and biomedicine, with significant potential in the development of new materials and high-performance products. The factors affecting the stability of gel-emulsions, as well as the types of stabilizers required for their preparation (including solid particles, surfactants, and small molecule gelators), and the corresponding preparation methods (including the one-step method, two-step method, and phase inversion method) are reviewed in this article. The applications of gel-emulsions in porous materials, food, cosmetics, and stimuli-responsive materials are introduced, and future research directions are also discussed.展开更多
