Fundamental Study of Emulsions Stabilized by Soft and Rigid Particles.
Two distinct uniform hybrid particles, with similar hydrodynamic diameters and comparable zeta potentials, were prepared by copolymerizing N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) and styrene. These particles differed in their styrene to NIPAM (S/N) mass ratios of 1 and 8 and are referred to as S/N 1 and S/N 8, respectively. Particle S/N 1 exhibited a typical behavior of soft particles; that is, the parti...
متن کاملStabilisation of Emulsions by Trapped Species
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 Kabalnov et al(Colloids and Surfaces, 24 (1987), 19-32), we derive a general condition on the mean initial droplet volume which ensures stability, even when ...
متن کاملStabilisation of water-in-water emulsions by montmorillonite platelets.
The formation of water-in-water emulsions from the aqueous two phase system containing polyethylene oxide and pullulan, stabilised by montmorillonite platelets, was investigated. A novel approach of preparing the emulsions at non-equilibrium polymer concentrations was successfully utilised to control viscosity during mixing and allow the use of low energy emulsification methods. Polyethylene ox...
متن کاملOsmotic Stabilisation of Concentrated Emulsions and Foams
In the absence of coalescence, coarsening of emulsions (and foams) is controlled by molecular diffusion of the dispersed phase species from one emulsion droplet (or foam bubble) to another. Previous studies of dilute emulsions have shown how the osmotic pressure of a trapped species within droplets can overcome the Laplace pressure differences that drive coarsening, and " osmotically stabilise ...
متن کاملFluid-bicontinuous emulsions stabilized by colloidal particles
Using controlled spinodal decomposition, we have created a fluid-bicontinuous structure stabilized by colloidal particles. We present confocal microscopy studies of these structures and their variation with kinetic pathway. Our studies reveal a rigid multilayer of colloidal particles jammed at the interface which prevents the liquids demixing for many hours. The arrangement of two-fluid domains...
