In June, 1904, he spoke before the Royal Institution, and the following week sailed for America, on his first visit to the United States.

It had fared well Two of the musketeers were Nobel Prize winners, and Ostwald was soon to be similarly honored... 

Other special rules are (1) when surfactants are easily soluble in one phase, this is a continuous phase and (2) surfactants made from monovalent metal cations tend to produce 0/W emulsion, whereas those made from polyvalent metal cations produce W/0. This is called the oriented wedge theory (Bryan and Kantzas, 2007). Another related theory is the phase volume theory, proposed by Wilhelm Ostwald (winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry, 1909) ...
