The amounts of RHCl and IPM in formulations were fixed at 0.5% and 5% respectively.

The total amount of three variables of X1 (isopropyl alcohol, 20∼30%), X2(mixture surfactant of Brij30/Brij35 at ratio of 4/1, 20∼30%), and X3 (distilled water, 34.5∼50.0%) was 95%. X1+X2+X3 = 0.95.

LT: lag time; PI: polydispersity index.
