Emulsion liquid

Emulsions Almost eveiy shear rate parameter affects liquid-liquid emulsion formation. Some of the efrecds are dependent upon whether the emulsion is both dispersing and coalescing in the tank, or whether there are sufficient stabilizers present to maintain the smallest droplet size produced for long periods of time. Blend time and the standard deviation of circulation times affect the length of time it takes for a particle to be exposed to the various levels of shear work and thus the time it takes to achieve the ultimate small paiTicle size desired.

The choice of scale-up technique depends on the particular system. As a general guide, constant tip speed is used where suspended solids are involved, where heat is transferred to a coil or jacket, and for miscible liquids. Constant power per unit volume is used with immiscible liquids, emulsions, pastes and gas-liquid systems. Constant tip speed seems more appropriate in this case, and hence the rotor speed should be 0.66 Hz. The... 

Foams are agglomerations of gas bubbles separated from each other by thin films (5). Mainly, the problem is concerned with one class of colloidal systems —gas dispersed in liquid—but liquid dispersed in gas, solids dispersed in liquid (suspensions), and liquids dispersed in liquids (emulsions) cannot be ignored. The dispersion of a gas into a liquid must be studied and observed by the food technologist to improve the contact between the liquid and gas phases, the agitation of the liquid phase, and most important, the production of foam 10).

Velocity maps of simple or complex liquids, emulsions, suspensions and other mixtures in various geometries provide valuable information about macroscopic and molecular properties of materials in motion. Two- and three-dimensional spin echo velocity imaging methods are used, where one or two dimensions contain spatial information and the remaining dimension or the image intensity contains the information of the displacement of the spins during an observation time. This information is used to calculate the velocity vectors and the dispersion at each position in the spatially resolved dimensions with the help of post-processing software. The range of observable velocities depends mainly on the time the spins... 

Of all these formulations, it is the diverse semisolids that stand out as being uniquely topical. Semisolid systems fulfill a special topical need as they cling to the surface of the skin to which they are applied, generally until being washed off or worn off. In contrast, fluid systems have poor substantivity and readily streak and run off the desired area. Similarly, powders have poor staying properties. Importantly, the fundamental physicochemical characteristics of solutions, liquid emulsions and suspensions, and powders are independent of their route of application, and are discussed adequately elsewhere in this text and need not be reconsidered. This is not to say the compositions of such systems cannot be uniquely topical, for there are chemicals that can be safely applied to the... 

The anhydrous petrolatum base may be made more miscible with water through the use of an anhydrous liquid lanolin derivative. Drugs can be incorporated into such a base in aqueous solution if desired. Poly-oxyl 40 stearate and polyethylene glycol 300 are used in an anti-infective ointment to solubilize the active principle in the base so that the ointment can be sterilized by aseptic filtration. The cosmetic-type bases, such as the oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion bases popular in dermatology, should not be used in the eye, nor should liquid emulsions, owing to the ocular irritation produced by the soaps and surfactants used to form the emulsion. 

The rheological properties of a fluid interface may be characterized by four parameters surface shear viscosity and elasticity, and surface dilational viscosity and elasticity. When polymer monolayers are present at such interfaces, viscoelastic behavior has been observed (1,2), but theoretical progress has been slow. The adsorption of amphiphilic polymers at the interface in liquid emulsions stabilizes the particles mainly through osmotic pressure developed upon close approach. This has become known as steric stabilization (3,4.5). In this paper, the dynamic behavior of amphiphilic, hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl celluloses (HM-HEC), was studied. In previous studies HM-HEC s were found to greatly reduce liquid/liquid interfacial tensions even at very low polymer concentrations, and were extremely effective emulsifiers for organic liquids in water (6).

A solid suspended in a solid is called a solid suspension. Pigmented plastic - particles of dye suspended in a solid polymer - is a simple example. Freezing a liquid-liquid emulsion, such as milk, also yields a solid suspension. A layer of partially set paint, in which the urethane monomer has been consumed but the polymer has yet to form long chains, can also be thought of as representing a solid suspension. 

C. These freeze-dried sections were dry mounted on microscope slides which had been precoated with either Kodak NTB-3 or NTB-10 emulsion. Other techniques which thawed the frozen section, embedded the tissue in paraffin or dipped the section in liquid emulsion were demonstrated to translocate diffusible compounds. Many other similar attempts have been and are currently being made to localize diffusible compounds by autoradiography at the electron microscope level. 

Autoradiography offered an alternative technique. The earliest experiments followed the uptake of radioiodine into the thyroid by placing the tissue sections in direct contact with photographic plates (Hamilton, Soley, and Eichom, 1940 Leblond, 1943). Belanger and Leblond introduced the use of liquid emulsion in 1946. Initially this was painted onto sections mounted on microscope slides. Later, slides were dipped into liquid emulsion (Joftes and Warren, 1955) or wrapped around with stripping film (Doniach and Pelc, 1950). Semiquantitative comparisons... 

A high internal phase liquid-liquid emulsion (HIPE) is one where the internal or dispersed phase droplets occupy >74% of the total volume of the emulsion. At this point the droplets contact each other and beyond this volume % the droplets are forced into distorted polyhedra. If for example styrene and divinylbenzene are employed as the continuous phase and water droplets dispersed in this oil phase using a suitable surfactant to form a HIPE, the comonomers can be polymerized to form a poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) polyHIPE. Typically the water droplets are... 

Liquid flavours can be divided into low-viscous liquids, medium-viscous liquids, emulsions, pastes and suspensions. The main processing of liquid flavour production is basically liquid blending. The most popular carriers for flavours for aqueous systems are ethanol, propylene glycol or glycerol. For fat-soluble flavours, triacetin or vegetable oils are the most important carriers. 

Liquid/liquid emulsions consist of two or more non-miscible liquids. Classic examples of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are/milk, mayonnaise, lotions.
