โฆ Synopsis
Emulsions provides a general introduction, the industrial role of emulsifiers and addresses different problems such as creaming/sedimentation, flocculation, Ostwald ripening, coalescence and phase inversion. Thermodynamics, adsorption and interaction forces between emulsion droplets are thoroughly explained. Supplemented by many figures and tables, it helps to characterize and select the right emulsifier for various industrial applications.
