Table I.

Boiling points of PFCs used to make emulsions and average droplet diameters, including standard deviations of the means, of the resulting emulsions one day after their formulation so that Ostwald ripening has not significantly occurred. The average number density, including the standard deviation of the mean, is listed for the undiluted emulsions.
