aAn initial 10 min period required to reach the target temperature must be considered in all cases. bSolid product was isolated by centrifugation. The product was not washed. cChange in the addition order. d0.24 g of sodium di-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate dissolved in water were added before base addition. e0.50 g of sodium di-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate dissolved in water were added before base addition. f1 g of ethylene glycol dissolved in water was added before base addition. g13 mL of base were added instead of 4 mL. hCalculated from SEM images employing ImageJ Software. iAverage width of the rod-like particles. jAverage length of the rod-like particles.
