Double emulsion, the simplest form of multiple emulsions, have been intensively utilized in various industries as well as in fundamental research. A variety of strategies to effectively form double emulsions have been developed, but no simple yet controlled and scalable technique has been achieved yet. In this presentation, we present the mechanism of the process of double emulsion formation by phase inversion, and a universal one-step strategy for the formation of an oil/water/oil emulsion using oil soluble polymers and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles. We demonstrate that this new approach can control both the fraction and the number of inner small droplets. |
