Abstract:
A simple, one-pot reaction scheme leading to water-in-toluene and toluene-in-water type Pickering emulsions solely stabilized by nanocrystals of Ag and Au is described. Sol properties-ageing and ability to disperse substances are studied. The nature of the solid surfactants and their surface structure is ascertained by transmission electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
