| Abstract |
Double emulsions with a hierarchical core-shell structure have great potential in various applications, but their broad application is limited by their instability. To improve stability, water-in-oil-in-water emulsions (W/O/W) with an ultra-thin oil layer of several-hundred nanometers were produced using a microcapillary device. We investigated the effects of various parameters on the generation of ultra-thin-shell double emulsions and their droplet size, including the proper combinations of inner, middle and outer phases, flow rates and surfactants. The surfactant in the middle oil phase was found to be critical for the formation of the ultra-thin-shell double emulsions. Furthermore, the stability of these double emulsions can be notably improved by increasing the concentration of the surfactant and they can be stable over months. This opens up new opportunities for their future applications in cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 March 2017.
All research outputs
#13,852,691
of 22,959,818 outputs
Outputs from ChemPhysChem
#1,422
of 4,837 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#164,995
of 309,705 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ChemPhysChem
#19
of 116 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,959,818 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,837 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,705 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 116 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
