Polydopamine Particle as a Particulate Emulsifier [PDF]
Polymers, 2016 “Pickering-type” emulsions were prepared using polydopamine (PDA) particles as a particulate emulsifier and n-dodecane, methyl myristate, toluene or dichloromethane as an oil phase. All the emulsions prepared were oil-in-water type and an increase of PDA particle concentration decreased oil droplet diameter.
