Abstract:
Internally self-assembled submicrometer emulsions were stabilized by F127, by the charged diblock copolymer K151, by L300 particles, and by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The stabilization of all investigated internal phases and the impact of the stabilizer on them are discussed. The use of charged stabilizers results in a highly negative zeta potential of the emulsion droplets, which can be exploited as a means to control their adsorption onto charged surfaces. Small-angle X-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering were used to determine the internal structure and size of the emulsion droplets, respectively.
