Stirring speeds and stirring times for the generation of foamed emulsion templates. Mean bubble diameters d̄bubble and PDIs of the monolayers of foamed emulsion templates consisting of 65 vol% 1,4-BDDMA, 30 vol%, 5 vol% glycerol. The continuous phase contained 5 wt% SDS (calculated with respect to the total mass of the continuous phase) and 2 mol% BPO (calculated with respect to the total amount (mol) of the monomer 1,4-BDDMA). For the calculation of the mean bubble diameters 100 bubbles were considered (ntotal = 100).
