Abstract of Chapter 5: Ultrathin plate-like colloidal particles are effective candidates for Pickering stabilization of water-in-water emulsions, a stabilization that is complicated by the thickness and ultralow tension of the water–water interface. Here we present experiments and theory for the effect of gibbsite nanoplates on phase-separated aqueous solutions of biopolymers dextran and nongelling fish gelatin. Plate-like particles have the advantage of blocking much of the interface while simultaneously having a low mass.
