Abstract
Various aspects of particle-stabilized emulsions (or so-called Pickering emulsions) have been extensively investigated during the last two decades, but the preparation of uniform Pickering emulsion droplets via a simple and scalable method has been sparingly realized. We report the preparation of uniform Pickering emulsions by Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification. The size of the emulsion droplets ranging from 10-50 μm can be precisely controlled by the size of the membrane pore. The emulsion droplets have a high monodispersity with coefficients of variation (CV) lower than 15% in all of the investigated systems. We further demonstrate the feasibility of locking the assembled particles at the interface, and emulsion droplets have been shown to be excellent templates for the preparation of monodisperse colloidosomes that are necessary in drug-delivery systems.
