Fig. 3. (a) Digital photograph of n-dodecane-in-50.5 % w/w aqueous sucrose Pickering emulsion prepared using 1.2 % w/w PGMA56–PTFEMA500 spherical nanoparticles and the corresponding transmittance data. (b) Optical micrograph obtained for the same emulsion after dilution using pure water. (c) Fluorescence micrograph of this emulsion with the hydrophobic dye, Nile Red, dissolved in the n-dodecane droplet phase. (d) Variation in volume-average droplet diameter (as determined by laser diffraction) vs. PGMA56–PTFEMA500 copolymer concentration. The error bars represent the standard deviation of each mean volume-average diameter.
