Emulsions and methods of making emulsions

A method of making an emulsion having a dispersed phase in a continuous phase, the method comprising:

• immersing a plurality of liquid marbles in a first liquid intended as the continuous phase of the emulsion, each of said liquid marbles comprising a droplet of a second liquid covered with a shell of particles, wherein said plurality of liquid marbles comprises one or more type of liquid marble,
• the method further comprising, prior to said immersing, forming said liquid marbles by coating said droplet with said particles, to thereby form said shell of particles,
• wherein said first liquid and said second liquid are mutually immiscible, said first liquid being immiscible in water and said second liquid being miscible in water,
• thereby obtaining an emulsion comprising an immersed plurality of liquid marbles as at least a portion of said dispersed phase, and said first liquid in said continuous phase,
• wherein an average droplet diameter in said liquid marbles is not less than 50 nm.
