Emulsions are multiscale and thermodynamically unstable systems which will undergo
various unstable processes over time. The behavior of emulsifier molecules at the oil-water …

The formation, stability, and performance of oil-in-water emulsions may be improved by
using combinations of two or more different emulsifiers, rather than an individual type. This …

Background Emulsion gels are a class of soft solid-like materials. These composite materials
are structurally either a polymeric gel matrix into which emulsion droplets are incorporated …

Coacervation is a liquid-liquid phase separation phenomenon. It involves the formation of a
dense coacervate phase, rich in concentrated materials, and a co-existing immiscible dilute …

The fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEMs) using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL)
method is one of the most versatile approaches for manufacturing functional surfaces. This is …

Many researchers are currently develo** emulsion-based delivery systems to increase the
bioavailability of lipophilic bioactive agents, such as oil-soluble vitamins, nutraceuticals, and …

Chemical surfactants are omnipresent in consumer products, but they are the subject of
environmental concerns. For this reason, the complete replacement of petrochemical …

Polyelectrolytes are an important class of polymeric materials and are increasingly used in
complex industrial formulations. A core use of these materials is in mixtures with surfactants …

Polymers and surfactants are used in many technological and industrial applications such
as the manufacture of functional materials and coatings, personal care and pharmaceutical …

Background Microalgae and cyanobacteria are expected to play a key role as sustainable
protein source in future food production systems. Besides nutritional aspects, microalgae …
