Biocompatible Amphiphilic Hydrogel–Solid Dimer Particles as Colloidal Surfactants

Emulsions of two immiscible liquids can slowly coalesce over time when stabilized by surfactant molecules. Pickering emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles can be much more stable. Here, we fabricate biocompatible amphiphilic dimer particles using a h ...
