摘要:
An emulsion includes a substantially continuous liquid medium, and a pluralityof droplet structures dispersed within the substantially continuous liquidmedium. Each droplet structure of the plurality of droplet structures includesan outer droplet of a first liquid having an outer surface; an inner droplet ofa second liquid having an inner surface contained within the outer surface ofthe outer droplet of the first liquid, the second liquid being immiscible in thefirst liquid, wherein the inner and outer droplets have a boundary surface regiontherebetween; an outer layer of block copolymers disposed on the outer surfaceof the outer droplet; and an inner layer of block copolymers disposed on the innersurface of the inner droplet. The block copolymers include a hydrophilic polymerblock and a hydrophobic polymer block that act in combination to stabilize thedroplet structure, and the first liquid is immiscible in the substantially continuousliquid medium.
