Mixing Effect of Oils on the Lowering of Oil/Water Interfacial Tension

Fabrication of porous hydroxyapatite having nanometer/micrometer-size pores

“…The reduction of the oil/water interfacial tension is closely related to the formation and stability of an emulsion. Kudo et al 7) reported that the combination of nonpolar squalane and polar oleic acid reduces the interfacial tension. On the basis of this report, the effect of the blending of squalane in olive oil on the micrometer-size pores was investigated.…”
