## Abstract The stabilisation of miniemulsions using an in situ generated surfactant is presented. This surfactant, prepared from of a waterβsoluble base and an oilβsoluble long chain acid was successfully used to create stable miniemulsions with up to 60βvol.β% organic phase. It is shown that the
We report the first use of photo-initiated miniemulsion polymerization for the synthesis of well defined poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latexes. Furthermore, the application of photo-initiation is employed to the incorporation of decanethiol-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The procedure provide
