Glassy and compressed nanoemulsions stabilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol)-diacrylate

Abstract

The rheology of concentrated nanoemulsions is critical for their formulation in various applications, such as pharmaceuticals, foods, cosmetics, and templating advanced materials. Rheological properties of nanoemulsions depend on interdroplet interactions,...

Rheological study of nanoemulsions with repulsive and attractive interdroplet interactions

“…We also reported the effect of varying concentration of PEGDA on rheology of concentrated nanoemulsions ( φ = 50% and 60%) in glass and compressed regimes where surfactant concentration is maintained constant in all systems. 31 Despite various studies on gelation of nanoemulsions and glassy structure of droplets which are conducted mostly at certain volume fraction or interaction potential, there is no comprehensive study on nanoemulsions behavior over a wide range of interdroplet interactions and volume fractions. These parameters can be used for controlling the physicochemical properties of foods.…”
