	abstract = {A new method for the prepn. of nanoparticles from nano-emulsions using a low-energy emulsification method based on phase inversion at const. temp. (catastrophic inversion) is described. This method does not require any special equipment such as high-pressure homogenizers. The method is demonstrated for the prepn. of Et cellulose nanoparticles contg. pyrene (a microviscosity and micropolarity probe) as a hydrophobic model mol. The nano-emulsions were prepd. using a combination of non-ionic surfactants: Polyglycerol fatty acid ester (decaglycerol mono laurate) and sorbitan ester (Span 20), volatile org. solvent (toluene) and Et cellulose. Toluene was evapd. from the nano-emulsions, resulting in Et cellulose nanoparticles 50-120 nm in size. The emission colors of the pyrene-embedded nano-emulsions changed from blue to violet after the evapn. of the toluene because of the absence of excimers. This method may be applied for the prepn. of a variety of polymeric nanoparticles in which functional mols. are embedded within the particles. [on SciFinder(R)]},
