Abstract:Concentrated aqueous emulsions, or EWs, are the dispersion of a water insoluble organic liquid into water. The formulation is achieved through the use of polymeric surfactants, which provide multiple anchoring points and steric stabilization to prevent coalescence. Formation of the EW is mechanically driven, requiring high-shear processing to reduce particle size and attain a stable formulation. In this study, the relationship between processing shear time, particle size, and stability was examined. Samples we… Show more
