Abstract The dynamic development of nanotechnology research has contributed to the fact that various types nanoparticles are increasingly used on a large scale both for medical and biological purposes, but above all in many industrial fields. Such wide application is often connected with need estimate their characteristic parameters, such as size, size distribution or concentration. Existing in...

Emulsion copolymerization of 2-(tert-butylamino)ethyl methacrylate in the presence of divinylbenzene (DVB) cross-linker and monomethoxy-capped poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) macromonomer at 70 °C afforded sterically-stabilized latexes at approximately 10% solids at pH 9. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that relatively narrow size distributio...

Recent experiments have shown that coalescence of an oil/water/nanoparticle Pickering emulsion contained in a vial induces a nanoparticle-film o climb up the walls of the vial. Here we show that this phenomenon is highly general and can be induced by a variety of particle types, particle izes ranging from a few nm to a few m, and different emulsion types. Many of the features of film growth des...

The use of colloidal particles to prepare and stabilize emulsions, known as "Pickering emulsions “, has aroused growing interest in recent years. Pickering Ramsden demonstrated at the beginning last century feasibility surfactant-free presence these is called Emulsions". This concept stabilized by solid experiencing renewed nowadays given many advantages it offers good stability, environmental ...
