An Overview of Pickering Emulsions: Solid-Particle Materials, Classification, Morphology, and Applications

چکیده
Pickering emulsion, a kind of emulsion stabilized only by solid particles locating at oil-water interface, has been discovered a century ago, while being extensively studied in recent decades. Substituting solid particles for traditional surfactants, Pickering emulsions are more stable against coalescence and can obtain many useful properties. Besides, they are more biocompatible when solid particles employed are relatively safe in vivo. Pickering emulsions can be applied in a wide range of fields, such as biomedicine, food, fine chemical synthesis, cosmetics, and so on, by properly tuning types and properties of solid emulsifiers. In this article, we give an overview of Pickering emulsions, focusing on some kinds of solid particles commonly serving as emulsifiers, three main types of products from Pickering emulsions, morphology of solid particles and as-prepared materials, as well as applications in different fields.

Macroporous solid foams with magnetic properties may have interesting applications as adsorbents for purification and decontamination processes. High pore volume can ensure a high degree of absorption, and magnetic properties can facilitate removal from environment. Organic macroporous polymeric foams, with high pore volume and high degree of interconnectivity, can be obtained by polymerizing i...

Pickering emulsion, which is an emulsion stabilized by solid particles, offers a wide range of potential applications because it generally provides a more stable system than surfactant-stabilized emulsion. Among various solid stabilizers, nanocellulose may open up new opportunities for future Pickering emulsions owing to its unique nanosizes, amphiphilicity, and other favorable properties (e.g....

Emulsions of oil and water stabilized by adsorbed solid particles are known as solid-stabilized emulsions (often referred to as Pickering emulsions). Using confocal microscopy and environmental transmission electron microscopy, we have studied the self-assembly of colloidal-sized polystyrene particles and alkanethiol-capped silver nanopaticles in Pickering emulsions. Colloidal samples of monodi...
متن کاملRepulsive van der Waals forces enable Pickering emulsions with non-touching colloids.
Emulsions stabilized by solid particles, called Pickering emulsions, offer promising applications in drug delivery, cosmetics, food science and the manufacturing of porous materials. This potential stems from their high stability against coalescence and 'surfactant-free' nature. Generally, Pickering emulsions require that the solid particles are wetted by both phases and as a result, the adsorp...
