Fig. 7. Colloidal stabilization of emulsions using 1D and 2D nanoparticles prepared via living CDSA methods. (A) Schematic illustration of a fiber-like micelle-stabilized oil-in-water emulsion droplet undergoing surface functionalization by growth of BCP unimers from the surface-confined fibers and subsequent functionalization with rhodamine (Rh) tagged streptavidin. Z-stacked confocal fluorescence micrographs reveal the encapsulated fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (green) (1) and surrounding shell of rhodamine tagged BCP (red) (2). (B) Droplet stabilization by PLLA based platelet nanostructures. TEM image of large area platelets (1), fluorescence microscopy images of emulsion droplets contain fluorescein-labelled dextran stabilised by large (2) and small (3) area platelet micelles after 60 minutes.
