Figure 3. Compositions of W/W emulsions controls the stabilizing roles of fibrils.

Figure 3

By mixing 0.05 wt% fibrils with W/W emulsions at different compositions, a phase diagram distinguishes three regions depending on emulsion stability, including destabilized dextran-in-PEG emulsions (a), stabilized dextran-in-PEG emulsions (b) and destabilized PEG-in-dextran emulsions (c). The representative fluorescence images of each region are shown in panels (a–c), where the dextran-rich phase is labelled in green. Scale bars, 50 μm. (d) The points in between the yellow dashed lines represent metastable dextran-in-PEG emulsions, which are stable for only 3–14 days.
