Chapter 1Basic Aspects of Emulsion and Nano-emulsion

Saxena, Neha; Kumar, Amit; Mandal, Ajay

Pages: 1 –4

[Emulsions are one such class of metastable colloids, formed of two immiscible components, one forming the dispersing phase and the other dispersed phase, in presence of surface-active chemicals. Emulsions are formed by shearing the two immiscible components resulting the fragmentation of the...

Chapter 2Emulsion and Its Types

Saxena, Neha; Kumar, Amit; Mandal, Ajay

Pages: 5 –12

[Emulsions are a form of colloid system that consists of a liquid and a liquid formation. The dispersed phase is made up of minute droplets, whereas the continuous phase or the dispersing phase is made up of the surrounding liquid. In this chapter there is discussion about the Emulsions and its...

Chapter 3Nano-emulsions

Saxena, Neha; Kumar, Amit; Mandal, Ajay

Pages: 13 –19

[Nano-emulsions are the homogenous solution forms by two immiscible liquids with nanometre size ranging from 20 to 500 nm and is stabilized by the presence of surface-active agents. These are often referred as sub-micro emulsion (SME) or mini-emulsion on the basis of their size. This chapter...
