Langmuir 31:12 (2015), 3605–3611 Herein, emulsions are stabilized with pH-sensitive microgels, and thus, it is possible to stabilize or destabilize these emulsions by small changes in pH. This is a nice example of emulsions responsive to external stimuli, which could be applied in drug delivery.

Langmuir 24:5 (2008), 1644–1647 This paper can be considered as the first report of W/W emulsions stabilized with particles. The main objective of the work was the preparation of microcapsules (colloidosomes) in absence of oil, by using a more simple method than those previously described. The capsules could be responsive to external stimuli, and thus, highly appropriate for controlled release of active components.

Langmuir 25:3 (2009), 1300–1305 Latex particles, incorporated to the gelatin/oxidizes starch/water system, significantly slowed down phase separation because of adsorption at the water/water interface. This paper was the first report that particles could be used for the stabilization of W/W interfaces. Bicontinuous microstructures were obtained by spinodal decomposition in the presence of the particles.

It provides a conclusive demonstration that latex particles can adsorb on water/water interfaces, imparting stability to emulsion droplets by a Pickering mechanism. Moreover, the authors were able to measure the adsorption contract angle, allowing the determination of the particle energy of adsorption.

Langmuir 29:34 (2013), 10658–10664 Soft particles consisting of proteins hydrogels showed to be much more efficient in stabilizing W/W emulsions than native protein. Emulsion stability depended on particle size and concentration, as expected for a Pickering stabilization mechanism.

The solvation properties and the morphology of the particles were controlled. The results demonstrated that the emulsions are more stable when the particles possess a higher affinity for the external phase.

The results showed that modification of particle surface by coating with polysaccharides can be a highly potential strategy for controlling the stabilization of water-in-water emulsions.

These microgel particles were produced by a novel method consisting of forcing coarse particles of a pre-formed thermally processed protein gel through a jet homogenizer.

Food Hydrocoll. 42 (2014), 92–99 Phase separation in the system composed of waxy corn starch, locust bean gum and water was studied in the presence of various nanosilica particles with different wetting properties. Surface hydrophobicity on silica nanoparticles was controlled by tuning the density of SiOH surface groups. The results showed that phase separation was significantly curtailed in the presence of nanoparticles. The particles had a strong preference for the starch phase, mainly at low particle hydrophobicity, producing a tendency to stabilize gum microdomains.

ACS Macro Lett. 4:9 (2015), 965–968 This paper can be considered of outstanding interest, since demonstrates that platelets, or disk-like particles, can be highly appropriate for the stabilization of water-in-water emulsion droplets. These particles are able to strongly adsorb on the interface, with a minimum mass, and the adsorption is rather independent on contact angle. The word focused on gibbsite platelet particles, but nevertheless, it could be presumed that other types of disk-like particles could perform similarly.

The results show that these nanorods can efficiently stabilize W/W emulsions.

Commun. 5:May (2014), 1–9 This paper is highly recommended for two reasons. First, it describes the formation of W/W emulsions by using liposomes as stabilizers, being able to adsorb on the water-water interface as non-rigid particles for Pickering stabilization. Second, it shows that W/W droplets can be used as a microreactor, since biochemical reactions and processes can be perform inside the droplets, as a mild and biomimetic aqueous reservoir.
