Protein-stabilised emulsions can be seen as mixtures of unadsorbed proteins and of protein-stabilised droplets. To identify the contributions of these two components to the overall viscosity of sodium caseinate o/w emulsions, the…
The turbidity of four different oil/water (o/w) ionic nanoemulsions is studied as a function of time. The emulsions are stabilized with sodium dodecyl sulphate, and are composed of pure dodecane, and mixtures of dodecane, squalene and…
The behavior of four oil-in-water (O/W) ioinic nanoemulsions composed of dodecane, and mixtures of dodecane with squalene and tetra-chloro-ethylene is studied. These nanoemulsions were stabilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The…
We present a quantitative confocal-microscopy study of the transient and final microstructure of particle-stabilised emulsions formed via demixing in a binary liquid. To this end, we have developed an image-analysis method that relies on…
The freeze-thaw cycling of particle-stabilised emulsions can alter the emulsion structure and stability. This could have significant consequences for using particle stabilisation in industrial applications where increased stability is…
A framework is developed to allow emulsification to be used to fabricate functional structures from, and study the properties of, pristine layered nanosheets. Liquid-exfoliated few-layer graphene and MoS2 are demonstrated to stablize…
Multiple emulsions offer a compelling route to confine nucleation and growth during drug precipitation, yet their practical use is frequently limited by kinetic fragility and sensitivity to formulation and processing conditions. Here, we…
The combustion of liquid fuels emulsified with water have long generated interest in the internal combustion engine research community. Typically, these fuels consist of small quantities of water emulsified with ultrasonification or other…
Emulsions are ubiquitous in everyday life and find applications in various industries. Optical tweezers (OTs) have emerged as the preferred method for studying emulsion dynamics. In this review, we first introduce the theory of optical…
The formation of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsions can be well-controlled through an organized self-emulsification mechanism in the presence of rigid bottlebrush amphiphilic block copolymers. Nanoscale water droplets with…
We use x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of a high volume fraction emulsion creaming under gravity. The dodecane-in-water emulsion has interfaces stabilized solely by colloidal particles (silica). The samples…
The foaming properties, foaming capacity and foam stability, of soluble complexes of pectin and a globular protein, napin, have been investigated with a "Foamscan" apparatus. Complementary, we also used SANS with a recent method consisting…
Concentrated fabric conditioners are water-based formulations containing 10 wt. % of cationic surfactants that are deposited on textile fibers during the rinse cycle in a washing machine to make them smoother and softer to touch. In topical…
Concentrated fabric softeners are water-based formulations containing around 10 - 15 wt. % of double tailed esterquat surfactants primarily synthesized from palm oil. In recent patents, it was shown that a significant part of the surfactant…
In the absence of coalescence, coarsening of emulsions (and foams) is controlled by molecular diffusion of dispersed phase between droplets/bubbles. Studies of dilute emulsions have shown how the osmotic pressure of a trapped species within…
Micro and/or Nano sized emulsions are formed when an organic liquid gently comes in contact with water in the presence of a surfactant, where no external agitation is required. Many years of research made it clear that the driving force for…
We consider an emulsion whose droplets contain a trapped species (insoluble in the continuous phase), and study the emulsion's stability against coarsening via Lifshitz-Slyozov dynamics (Ostwald Ripening). Extending an earlier treatment by…
Rates of aggregation of dodecane-in-water (d/w) nanoemulsions stabilized with 7.5 mM sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) are evaluated beyond 500 mM NaCl. As in the case of hexadecane-in-water (h/w) emulsions, it is found that flocculation rates…
Formulation of stable nanofluids containing ZnO, Al2O3 and TiO2 nanoparticles in propylene glycol (PG), ethylene glycol (EG) and 50wt% mixtures of PG and EG in water (WPG, WEG) were investigated, with and without the presence of…
The use of polymer-based surfactants in the double-emulsion (water/oil/water, W/O/W) solvent-evaporation technique is becoming a widespread strategy for preparing biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with…
