We present a simple reliable method based on ultrasonic propagation for monitoring crystallization and melting of the dispersed oil phase in emulsion droplets. The sensitivity of the technique is illustrated for an nhexadecane-in-water emulsion by comparing ultrasonic velocity data with densities over the temperature range
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.
