Nano-and microemulsions are colloidal systems that are widely used in various fields of
biomedicine, including wound and burn healing, cosmetology, the development of …

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, fluid, optically clear dispersions of two
immiscible liquids. Recent interest in microemulsion systems has resulted from their utility in …

Emulsions occur either as end products or during the processing of products in a huge
range of areas including the food, agrochemical, pharmaceutical, paint and oil industries …

In this study, the synergistic/antagonistic effects between hydrophilic SiO2 nanoparticles,
synthesized from rice husk ash, and various surfactant types including a cationic …

The structural and interfacial properties of nanoscopic liquid drops are assessed by means
of mechanical, thermodynamical, and statistical mechanical approaches that are discussed …

In this paper the Helfrich ansatz for bending an amphiphilic monolayer is re-expressed in
terms of the deviations in curvature away from a preferred value. Using this expression and …

[AOT]= 0—50; So=[oil]/[AOT]= 20, 13, 5; and T= 10—62 C). A sharp increase in electrical
conductivity with increasing temperature was exhibited for Wo> 15, indicative of a …

We consider the behaviour of liquid droplets at the liquid/vapour interface. We discuss the
feasibility of drop entry into the interface in terms of the various interfacial tension in …
