Multiple-component systems well-mixed system

In this section, examples of self-assembled systems formed by simple mixing of multiple components are discussed. These components can be mixed either in the monomeric state or after supramolecular homopolymers have been formed. This type of preparation relies heavily on the thermodynamic interactions between the different components as well as on the dynamic nature of the supramolecular polymer. For each type of organization, these two features are discussed followed by representative examples from the literature. 

These multiple emulsions could be made by simple mixing, without any special order of addition of the ingredients. In fact, all three liquid components (the particles were previously dispersed in the respective phases) in the FC-in-toluene-in-water system were combined and emulsified simply by mixing. It is well understood that multiple emulsions are extremely process dependent and are nearly a black art. The ability to create these emulsions with minimal processing is a vast improvement over the current art. ...
