Stabilizing alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) emulsions using fine particles instead of cationic starch have attracted much attention in recent years. Herein, starch nanocrystals (SNCs) made from maize starch by H 2 SO 4 hydrolysis were used to co-stabilize ASA emulsions with fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) made hydrothermally from gelatin. The introduction of CDs can significantly enhance the stability and reduce the droplet size of SNC-stabilized ASA-in-water emulsions. Consequently, the sizing performance of the SNC-stabilized ASA emulsion is significantly improved by increasing the CD-to-SNC mass ratio. SNC and CD co-stabilized ASA emulsions show much better sizing performance than starch and CD co-stabilized ASA emulsions, achieving their best sizing performance at a CD-to-SNC mass ratio of 80%. Meanwhile, the morphology of SNC/starch and CD co-stabilized ASA emulsions can be traced under UV excitation.
