Perfluorocarbon (PFC) nanoemulsions, droplets of fluorous solvent stabilized by surfactants dispersed in water, are simple yet versatile nanomaterials. The orthogonal nature of the fluorous phase promotes the formation of nanoemulsions through a simple, self-assembly process while simultaneously encapsulating fluorous-tagged payloads for various applications. The size, stability, and surface chemistry of PFC nanoemulsions are controlled by the surfactant. Here, we systematically study the effect ...[more]
