• a) a weight ratio of hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block to hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block of 40:60 or less;
• b) a total number average molecular weight (Mnt) of from 30,000 to 150,000, wherein each hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block (A) has a Mna of from 6,000 to 60,000 and each hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block (B) has a Mnb of from 3,000 to 30,000;
• and
• c) a hydrogenation level such that each hydrogenated vinyl aromatic polymer block has a hydrogenation level of greater than 90 percent and each hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer block has a hydrogenation level of greater than 95 percent, and
• II′) a surfactant, and
• III′) a continuous phase which is immiscible with the polymer phase.
