Emulsion copolymerization of 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate in the presence of divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linker and monomethoxy-capped poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) macromonomer at 70 °C afforded sterically-stabilized latexes at approximately 10% solids at pH 9. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that relatively narrow size distributio...

We present a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the surprisingly strong electrostatic effects that can occur in mixtures of low- and high-polar liquids (e.g. oil-water emulsions), here in the presence of colloidal particles. For our experiments, we used confocal microscopy imaging, supplemented with electrophoresis and conductivity measurements. Theoretically, we studied our...

In this study, olive oil-in-water emulsions (30% oil, v/v) were prepared by using high-pressure homogenization and different concentrations of modified corn starch particles (6–10% w/v). After a preliminary physical characterization, the used to produce oil-in water (o/w) whose droplet size distribution, flow behavior, microstructure, stability evaluated. The stabilization Pickering phenomena w...

In this work, polymerizations of styrene (St) in the presence divinylbenzene (DVB) as a crosslinking agent and sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate (VBS) have been performed Pickering emulsions, using silica nanoparticles (SNps) stabilizing agents ammonium persulfate hydrophilic initiator. oil-in-water emulsions with alkaline continuous phase (pH = 9) at 1, 2, 3 wt% DVB (relative to St), polydisperse...

The use of lignin, an abundant phenolic bio-polymer, allows us to transform our fossil-based economy into a sustainable and bio-based economy. transformation bulk lignin colloidal particles (CLPs) with well-defined surface chemistry morphology is possible way cope the heterogeneity it for material applications. These CLPs can be used as emulsifiers in so-called Pickering emulsions, where solid ...

The development of vehicles for the co-encapsulation actives with diverse characteristics and their subsequent controllable co-delivery is gaining increasing research interest. Predominantly centred around pharmaceutical applications, majority such approaches have been focusing on solid formulations less so liquid-based systems. Simple emulsions can be designed to offer a microstructural platfo...
