  2. Bancroft rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bancroft_rule

    In an oil-in-water emulsion, oil is the discrete phase, while water is the continuous phase. What the Bancroft rule states is that contrary to common sense, what makes an emulsion oil-in-water or water-in-oil is not the relative percentages of oil or water, but which phase the emulsifier is more soluble in.

  3. Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_evolution_of...

    Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), also referred to as in vitro selection or in vitro evolution, is a combinatorial chemistry technique in molecular biology for producing oligonucleotides of either single-stranded DNA or RNA that specifically bind to a target ligand or ligands.

  4. Macroemulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroemulsion

    This is because it is more favorable for the emulsifying agent to be at an interface so reducing the interfacial area requires expending energy to return the emulsifying agent to the bulk. Stability of the Macroemulsions are based on numerous environmental factors including temperature, pH, and the ionic strength of the solvent.

  5. Emulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion

    Emulsifying agents are effective at extinguishing fires on small, thin-layer spills of flammable liquids (class B fires). Such agents encapsulate the fuel in a fuel-water emulsion, thereby trapping the flammable vapors in the water phase. This emulsion is achieved by applying an aqueous surfactant solution to the fuel through a high-pressure ...

  6. Pickering emulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickering_emulsion

    A Ramsden emulsion, sometimes named Pickering emulsion, is an emulsion that is stabilized by solid particles (for example colloidal silica) which adsorb onto the interface between the water and oil phases. Typically, the emulsions are either water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsions, but other more complex systems such as water-in-water, oil-in ...

  7. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

    The name "emulsion polymerization" is a misnomer that arises from a historical misconception. Rather than occurring in emulsion droplets, polymerization takes place in the latex/colloid particles that form spontaneously in the first few minutes of the process. These latex particles are typically 100 nm in size, and are made of many individual ...

  8. Demulsifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demulsifier

    Demulsifiers, or emulsion breakers, are a class of specialty chemicals used to separate emulsions, for example, water in oil. They are commonly used in the processing of crude oil , which is typically produced along with significant quantities of saline water.

  9. Emulsion stabilization using polyelectrolytes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_stabilization...

    Although they are attracted to oil, and an oil-in-water emulsion forms, the emulsion will not stay stable for long and will eventually coalesce. [10] With the addition of a polyelectrolyte, electrostatic forces between the oil and water interface are formed and the surfactant begins to act as an “anchor” for the polyelectrolyte, stabilizing ...
