Particles Trapped at the Droplet Interface in Water-in-Water Emulsions

Balakrishnan, Gireeshkumar, Nicolai, Taco, Benyahia, Lazhar, Durand, Dominique·2012·Langmuir

Abstract

Water-in-water emulsions were formed by mixing incompatible aqueous solutions of dextran and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in the presence of latex or protein particles. It was found that particles with a radius as small as 0.1 μm become trapped at the interface between the PEO- and dextran-rich phases with interfacial tensions down to 10(-6) N/m. The particles were visualized at the interface of the emulsion droplets using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) allowing determination of the contact angle. Various degrees of coverage with particles could be observed. On densely covered droplets, the particles had a hexagonal crystalline order. At intermediate coverage, transient clustering of the particles was observed. The diffusion coefficient of the particles at the interface was determined using multiparticle tracking. Fusion of droplets was observed in all cases leading eventually to macroscopic phase separation.

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.
