A Study of the Relation between Bicontinuous Microemulsions and Oil/Water Nano-emulsion Formation

Morales, D., Gutiérrez, J. M., García-Celma, M. J., Solans, Y. C.·2003·Langmuir

Abstract

Oil/water (O/W) nano-emulsions have been formed in the system water/C 16 E 6 /mineral oil by the phase inversion temperature (PIT) method. The relation between the phase equilibria observed at the hydrophilic−lipophilic balance (HLB) temperature or the PIT (i.e., the nature, number, and relative volume fractions of the involved phases), the droplet sizes, and polydispersities of the resulting emulsions have been determined. Milky white emulsions were obtained when, at the HLB temperature, a three-phase equilibrium formed by water (W), shear-birefringent microemulsion (D), and oil (O) was observed. However, bluish transparent O/W nano-emulsions with droplet sizes as low as 40 nm were formed in a narrow range of oil-to-surfactant ratios in which a D or W + D phases were the initial equilibrium phases. In the W + D equilibria, droplet sizes were independent from the water content, indicating that nanodroplet formation is mainly controlled by the structure of the D phase. These results suggest that the main requirement for bluish transparent O/W nano-emulsion formation is the complete solubilization of the oil component in a bicontinuous microemulsion, independent of whether the initial phase equilibrium is single or multiphase.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
