        abstract = {Water-in-oil emulsions stabilized solely by bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNs), which were hydrophobized by esterification with organic acids of various chain lengths (acetic acid, C2-; hexanoic acid, C6-; dodecanoic acid, C12-), were produced and characterized. When using freeze-dried C6-BCN and C12-BCN, only a maximum water volume fraction (?w) of 60\% could be stabilized, while no emulsion was obtained for C2-BCN. However, the maximum ?w increased to 71\%, 81\%, and 77\% for C2-BCN, C6-BCN, and C12-BCN, respectively, 150 h after the initial emulsification, thereby creating high internal phase water-in-toluene emulsions. The observed time-dependent behavior of these emulsions is consistent with the disentanglement and dispersion of freeze-dried modified BCN bundles into individual nanofibers with time. These emulsions exhibited catastrophic phase separation when ?w was increased, as opposed to catastrophic phase inversion observed for other Pickering emulsions.},
