(A,B) Library of amphiphilic DBCs and TBCs. Commercial (blue), P(MeOx) (red), P(EtOx) (green), and PEG-b-NonOx (orange) (1–16). (C) Initial size distribution of PFC nanoemulsions containing differing fluorous solvents [perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB), vertical stripes; perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (PFCE), horizontal stripes; 7:3 perfluorodecalin/perfluorotripropylamine, (PFD/PFTPA), solid] stabilized by 1 (PF68), 5 [P(MeOx30-b-NonOx10)], 6 [P(MeOx60-b-NonOx10)], 9 [P(MeOx30-b-NonOx10-b-MeOx30)], and 16 (PEG5K-b-NonOx10). (D) Change in volume over 14 days of PFC nanoemulsions shown in (C). (E) Initial size distributions of amphiphile stabilized 7:3 PFD/PFTPA PFC nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsions were prepared by sonication of a solution of 2.8 wt % surfactant with 10 vol % 7:3 PFD/PFTPA in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Emulsions were diluted 1:1000 in deionized water prior to measurements by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Data represent the average of three independent samples; error bars represent the product of the dispersity and the z-average. (F) Change in volume over 30 days of emulsions shown in (E). Data represent the average of three independent samples; error bars represent the standard deviation of three independent samples.
