The Mw of PEG was changed in the range 10-20kDa, while DEX in the range 20-75kDa. Four different blend solutions with different Mw of each polymer were prepared. Firstly, a comprehensive characterization of the investigated systems was carried out, including density as well as viscosity measurements, before and after mixing. In addition, in situ imaging was conducted using confocal microscopy, and interfacial tensions were examined using SDT (Spinning Drop Tensiometer).
