A change for the wetter: The effect of temperature T on the position of a sterically stabilized polystyrene latex particle adsorbed at an oil–water interface is described. Emulsions stabilized by such particle monolayers are oil-in-water at low T and water-in-oil at high T (see scheme). The results are also in line with the predicted change in the wettability of the particles in emulsions.
