Figure 3. Size and shape of NPSCs in different conditions.

Figure 3

a) Hydrodynamic diameter as observed by DLS measurement of protein stabilized NPSCs in phosphate buffer (5 mM, pH 7.4). NPSCs fabricated via assembly of 0.64 nM droplets with 2.5 µM nanoparticle solution followed by lateral crosslinking of particles using transferrin proteins. b) Stability study of linoleic acid-NPSCs with and without transferrin in physiological condition over time. c) TEM image of NPSCs. The inset shows the size distribution determined from TEM image by counting the diameter of 80 individual NPSCs. d) Magnified view of a protein stabilized NPSC.
