  "abstract": "This study reports an unprecedented strategy for chloroform-in-water emulsion stabilization through the use of a couple of amphiphilic associative copolymers through host-guest interactions at the interface. More precisely, a set of two complementary amphiphilic copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) methacrylate (PEGMA) and either methyl methacrylate (MMA) or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and grafted with either guest adamantyl or host β-cyclodextrin groups, were produced through Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer (RAFT)-mediated controlled radical polymerization technique allowing to match the solubility and interfacial activity requirements for an improved stabilization of oil/water interface. The molecular structure of both copolymers, called respectively poly(Ada) and poly(βCD), was characterized by 1H NMR, SEC and ATR-FTIR analyses. Solutions of poly(Ada) in chloroform and poly(βCD) in water were then used for preparation of oil-in-water emulsions whose stability was followed by probing the droplet size evolution under microscope. Emulsions prepared with the couple of the associative copolymers demonstrated outstanding stability, whereas emulsions stabilized with only one copolymer partner quickly aged through the Ostwald ripening and coalescence. The obtained result is a steady proof of concept showing great potential of interfacial host-guest interactions between macromolecules for an enhanced emulsion stabilization.",
