Initial characteristics of emulsions would lead to different structures during drying of emulsion-based films, which in turn will affect the behavior of the film. The objective of this work was to study the effect of oil concentration and the use of surfactant over bubble sizes, interfacial tension, rheological properties and stability of oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by hydroxypropyl methy...

Dicaesium bis-muth(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), Cs(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)), has been synthesized during complex investigation in a molten pseudo-quaternary Cs(2)O-Bi(2)O(3)-P(2)O(5)-WO(3) system. It is isotypic with K(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)). The three-dimensional framework is built up from [Bi(PO(4))(WO(4))] nets, which are organized by adhesion of [BiPO(4)] layers and [WO(4)] tetra-hedra above and ...

Porous tungsten oxide/copper tungstate (WO₃/CuWO₄) composite thin films were fabricated via a facile in situ conversion method, with a polymer templating strategy. Copper nitrate (Cu(NO₃)₂) solution with the copolymer surfactant Pluronic®F-127 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, generic name, poloxamer 407) was loaded onto WO₃ substrates by programmed dip coating, followed by heat treatment in ...

Aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of atomization and drying on the functionality of emulsions with an oil/water-interface (o/w-interface) consisting of beta-lactoglobulin (single layer emulsion) and sequentially adsorbed pectins with varying degree of methylation at pH<pI (bilayer emulsions). Thus, the emulsion systems were characterized with respect to their behavior durin...

In this study, the effect of basil seed gum (BSG) on the stability and rheological properties of egg white albumin (EWA) emulsions was investigated. A constant amount of EWA (0.5% w/v) and different concentrations of BSG (0-0.3% w/v) were used for the manufacture and stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions (30% w/w). The results showed that by increasing BSG concentration, the storage (21 days)...

Applied Rheology Volume 21 · Issue 5 Abstract: The rheological behavior of the olive oil-in-water emulsions has been studied by varying the oil to water ratio as well as the surfactant concentration. The viscoelastic property of the olive oil emulsions was investigated with a cone-and-plate system, using a Bohlin C-VOR Rheometer. The obtained results indicated that the emulsions with greater oi...

beverage emulsions are systems that are composed of two liquids including oil and water which are prepared by homogenizing oil phase in an acidic aqueous phase. they must be stable in both concentrated and diluted form for a period of 6-12 months upon standing at room temperature. two immiscible phases contained systems are thermodynamically unsta-ble. in other words, they are vulnerable to bre...

Abstract: Entropy generation, and hence exergy destruction, in adiabatic flow of unstable and surfactant-stabilized emulsions was investigated experimentally in different diameter pipes. Four types of emulsion systems are investigated covering a broad range of the dispersed-phase concentration: (a) unstable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions without surfactant; (b) surfactant-stabilized O/W emulsions...

Abstract: The influence of droplet size on exergy destruction rate in flow of highly concentrated oil-in-water emulsions was investigated experimentally in a cone and plate geometry. The oil concentration was fixed at 74.5% by volume. At this dispersed-phase (oil) concentration, two different droplet size emulsions were prepared: fine and coarse emulsions. The fine and coarse emulsions were mix...

The use of conventional emulsions for tack coats can cause problems as they frequently stick to the tires of construction vehicles. Consequently the bond between the asphalt layers is inadequate. The importance of tack coats in the performance of the pavement means that bituminous emulsions are constantly being improved. Recently, new types of emulsions have been developed from very low penetra...
