All oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions were prepared by using de-ionised water obtained from a reverse osmosis filtration system as the continuous phase. Commercial sunflower oil (viscosity = 50 cP) was purchased by a local retailer and used as the dispersed phase. Both Polysorbate20, i.e. Tween20, (Hydrophilic Lipophilic Balance, HLB =16.70 and molecular weight=1227.54 g/mol, critical micelle concentration = 0.06 mM) and a 30 wt.% suspension of silica in Water (Ludox HS, surface area 220 m 2 /g and density 1.21 g/mL) were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich Company (UK) and used as emulsifiers.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
