Emulsions near Interfaces between Two Immiscible Phases

Lipid Composition in Miscible and Immiscible Phases

Interfaces of Modulated Phases

Numerically minimizing a continuous free-energy functional which yields several modulated phases, we obtain the order-parameter profiles and interfacial free energies of symmetric and nonsymmetric tilt boundaries within the lamellar phase, and of interfaces between coexisting lamellar, hexagonal, and disordered phases. Our findings agree well with chevron, omega, and T-junction tilt-boundary mo...

Savino 9 Tracking of immiscible interfaces in two - phase material mixing processes

This chapter presents a review of tracking methods for the modelling of immiscible interfaces and analyses the fluid flow aspects of a new application of a twin-screw extruder (TSE) in the rheomixing process. It also simulates fundamental micro-mechanisms of the rheological behaviour of immiscible liquid alloys with piecewise linear interface construction (PLIC) volume-of-fluid (VOF) methods on...

Electrochemical behaviour and voltammetric sensitivity at arrays of nanoscale interfaces between immiscible liquids.

Arrays of nanoscale interfaces between immiscible electrolyte solutions were formed using silicon nitride nanopore array membranes. Nanopores in the range from 75 nm radius down to 17 nm radius were used to form the nano-interfaces. It was found that the liquid organic phase electrolyte solution filled the pores so that inlaid nano-interfaces were formed with the aqueous phase. Cyclic voltammet...

Adhesion of red blood cells to charged interfaces between immiscible liquids. A new method.

We have devised a method of making a flat oil/water interface which remains flat on inversion. Cell adhesion to the interface can be observed microscopically. Glutaraldehyde-fixed human red blood cells adhere to the interface between physiological saline and hexadecane containing surface-active behenic acid at pH values below about 7-5. At high pH values, cells are prevented from adhering due t...
