Highly concentrated emulsions. Physicoehemical principles of the preparation and stability

摘要

Theoretical and experimental studies on highly concentrated emulsions are critically analysed. The views on the relationship between the stability of surfactant-stabilised emulsions and the properties of microemulsion phases formed in surfactant—water-oil ternary systems are considered. The empirical criteria and rules that can be used to predict the type and stability of emulsions are presented. The physico-chemical factors determining the rupture stability of emulsion films are discussed. The bibliography includes 186 references.
