Abstract:This article aims to compilate stability measurement tests for explosive emulsions (EE), which were developed and used in the last decades. So, it could serve as a stability guide for EEs. The main methodologies to evaluate the condition of the emulsion's matrix is through microscopy, DLS, viscosity, and rheology, which can preview the stability of a freshly manufactured emulsion within maximum 30 days, since it can undergo physically (centrifugation, compression, and direct contact with water). Thermal tests … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
