Table 2. D app of ALG-NPs obtained by varying the water content (W0) of the TX-100/cyclohexane RMs and resuspended in water at pH = 6.5. [TX-100] = 0.7 M, [ALG] = 9 × 10−8 M, and [CaCl2] = 9 × 10−4 M. T = 25 °C. In all cases, a single population was observed (100%). PDI = polydispersity index values.
| W 0 | D app (nm) | PDI |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 149 ± 4 | 0.35 ± 0.05 |
| 5 | 180 ± 5 | 0.25 ± 0.04 |
| 8 | 194 ± 5 | 0.44 ± 0.07 |
