ResumoOil droplets in aqueous surfactant solutions flatten into a host of polyhedral and polygonal shapes on slow cooling. These intriguing transformations promise novel synthesis methods for small polymeric particles. This paper reveals an intermediate octahedral stage that explain how icosahedral droplets flatten into polygonal platelets.
