Abstract
The invention provides emulsion compositions that include a hydrophobic compound and an arylboronic acid. An exemplary emulsion comprises a hydrophobic polymer and a halogenated arylboronic acid. Use of an arylboronic acid provides the emulsion with exceptional stability. The stability provides advantages for the formation of articles formed from the emulsion, including microparticles, as well as other implantable or injectable medical articles having polymeric matrices.
