Abstract
We explored the structural effects induced by the addition of salt on lipid-based liquid crystalline drops stabilized in aqueous media by charged sphere-like colloids. This allows us to distinguish two different stabilization regimes. In one case, the internal liquid crystalline phase has the ability to reorganize upon the coalescence of the drops and in the other not. This in turn depends mainly on the contact angle and the internal phase viscosity.
