Fluctuations of permeable interfaces in water-in-water emulsions.
نویسنده
چکیده
The fluctuations of highly permeable interfaces, encountered in phase-separated biopolymer solutions, liposomes, polymersomes, or colloidosomes, are investigated. An expression for the power spectrum of the height correlation function is derived for a multicomponent system, incorporating the effects of mass transfer across the interface, using nonequilibrium thermodynamics. We also derive an expression for the relaxation time of the height correlation function, and calculate the relaxation time for a phase-separated gelatin-dextran-water system. Comparing our expression with the expression for an impermeable interface shows that mass transfer has a significant impact on the relaxation time of the interface.

Physical and Rheological Properties of Oil in Water Heat Stable Emulsions Made from Different Stabilizers
Oil in water emulsions have attracted considerable attention in food industry due to their large applications. In this study, the effect of thermal treatment on oil in water emulsions (o/w) containing 40% oil was studied. The emulsions were prepared using xanthan gum, guar gum and carboxymethyl cellulose as stabilizer and polyoxyethylen sorbitan monooleat as emulsifier. A mixture design was use...
متن کاملEffect of Salinity, pH, and Temperature on Stability of Gas Condensate in Water Emulsions Using Different Surfactants
Light hydrocarbons in water emulsions are formed in many gas refinery wastewaters, and its stability depends on some parameters such as temperature, pH and salinity. In this study, different surfactants have been used to prepare gas condensates in water emulsion along with four surfactant kinds namely, Span 80, Tween 80, CTAB, SDS and Span 80 and Tween 80 mixture. For this purpose,...
متن کاملOn the behaviour of nanoparticles in oil-in-water emulsions with different surfactants.
The distribution of narrowly dispersed gold nanoparticles in hexane-in-water emulsions was studied for different surfactants. Good surfactants such as SDS and Triton X-100 block the oil-water interfaces and confine particles in the droplet. Other surfactants (Tween 85 and Span 20) form synergistic mixtures with the nanoparticles at the interfaces that lower the surface tension more than any com...
متن کاملFlow field and heat transfer of MgO-Ag/water micropolar hybrid nanofluid in a permeable channel
In this study, the least square method is applied to study the laminar flow, heat transfer and microrotation of MgO-Ag/water micropolar hybrid nanofluid in a permeable channel. The bottom wall is hot and coolant fluid is injected into the channel from the top wall. The base fluid in the channel is water and volume fraction of nanoparticle (50% Ag and 50% MgO by volume) is between 0 and 0.02. By...

The possibility of stabilizing emulsions of water and non-polar alkane with pure, coloured organic pigment particles is explored. Seven pigment types each possessing a primary colour of the rainbow were selected. Their solubility in water or heptane was determined using a spectrophotometric method and their surface energies were derived from the contact angles of probe liquids on compressed dis...
