Syntheses of shell cross-linked micelles using acidic ABC triblock copolymers and their application as pH-responsive particulate emulsifiers.
The use of new shell cross-linked micelles as pH-responsive particulate emulsifiers is described for the first time. 1-Undecanol-in-water emulsions of 18 mum diameter are formed at pH 8, whereas complete demulsification occurs at pH 2.
