Properties of Pickering Stabilized Associative Water‐In‐Water Emulsions Based on Ultra‐High Molecular Weight Polyacrylamides by Rafael B. Lira, Alexander Plucinski, YouBeen Ko, Niamh Bayliss, Chris vanEwijk, Wouter H. Roos, Bernhard V. K. J. Schmidt

“…Furthermore, the very low interfacial tension (0.18–0.40 mN m−1) enables droplet coalescence leading to equilibrium formation of various emulsion structures. These properties show similarities to cell cytoplasm and coacervates and hence this type of w/w emulsion formed via associative non‐ionic interactions is a new direction in the field of synthetic cells and synthetic biology.…”
