Stable emulsions of individual n-alkane (n-nonadecane) in water with different average particle size were prepared without surfactants. The phase transition temperatures for n-nonadecane were determined by the dynamic light scattering method. The effect of the n-alkane particle size on the melting and crystallization temperatures was studied. The crystallization temperature significantly decreases for particles smaller than a certain characteristic value.
