The aim of this paper is to investigate the time and thermal stability of innovative multicompartmental Janus nanoparticles (JNP). An important step consisted in characterizing the interfacial properties of two oily excipients used in the preparation of JNP: Labrafil M 2125 CS and M1944 CS. Using an automatic drop tensiometer (TRACKER™ by TECLIS), the authors showed that surface tension increases with temperature. This behavior has been attributed to PEG esters contained in the oil phase for which an increase of hydrophobicity is observed with increasing temperature. Further investigations allowed to identify a two-regimen destabilization mechanism for the Janus nanoparticles: a slight size increase by Ostwald ripening and then a rapid coalescence. Additional work must be done to improve the most stable formulation, diluted L2125, to reach a stability of 6 months at 40 °C which is a standard in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields.

Probing oil-water interfaces laden with microgels evidences that these soft particles adsorb quasi irreversibly and that their structure adopts different packing states when the interface is compressed. Moreover, experiments with a drop tensiometer (TRACKER™ ) shows that microgels adopt spontaneously a compressed morphology at an oil-water interface. The surface elasticity deduced from these measurements exhibits a maximum corresponding to the flattened conformation.
Finally, the same spontaneous adsorption coverage is observed in emulsions, thus proving the usefulness of microgels in controlling the structure and the stability of emulsions.
