12. This treatment is similar to other soft matter systems in which the interplay between long-range electrostatic interactions and short-range attractive interactions are critical for the determination of both the domains and phases (Ref. [13]) and the stability (Ref. [14]) of the system.

18. Aqueous droplets containing NRs were prepared in the following manner: 6.0 mg poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was mixed with 150 μL NR solution and 150 μL of an aqueous tetramethylammonium hydroxide solution to give alkaline solutions of the desired pH. Immediately after mixing, 15 μL of this solution was added to 18 mL of toluene containing 5% (v/v) 2-HDA.
