Use of sterically-stabilised polystyrene latex particles as a pH-responsive particulate emulsifier to prepare surfactant-free oil-in-water emulsions.
A pH-responsive, sterically-stabilised polystyrene latex is used as a particulate emulsifier for oil-in-water emulsions; demulsification occurs rapidly on lowering the solution pH and the original emulsion can be reformed on pH cycling.
