Kelvin nanoemulsions

One of the main problems with nanoemulsions is Ostwald ripening which results from differences in solubility between the small and large droplets. The difference in the chemical potential of dispersed phase droplets between different-sized droplets as given by Lord Kelvin [17],... 

Many water insoluble drugs are formulated as nanodispersions, namely nanoemulsions and nanosuspensions. These systems enhance the bioavailability of insoluble drugs, whereby reducing the droplet or particle size to nanoscale dimensions increases the solubility of the drug. This can be clearly understood if one considers the effect of size on solubility as given by the Kelvin equation [10]...
