A new study published in the Feb. 2012 issue of Anesthesiology found that the type of lipid emulsion used to reverse toxicity of local anesthetics may change the effectiveness of the reversal, ...

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

Physical equilibrium, assumed to be almost instant, may take months or years for particles in oil-water mixtures. By studying the behavior of tiny particles at an interface between oil and water, ...

Flavor emulsions are water and oil emulsions typically prepared as a concentrate and can be diluted during the formation of a final product. Two flavor emulsion types are primarily used in the food ...

CLINICIANS have long been interested in the adequate nutrition of their patients. Illnesses involve the whole patient rather than isolated systems, and general nonspecific therapeutic measures must ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers led by Lucio Isa, Professor of Interfaces, Soft Matter and Assembly at ETH Zurich's Department of Materials, have created a new type of silica particle able to stabilise ...

Reaching a state of physical equilibrium has always been assumed to happen almost instantly in emulsions. However, researchers from Harvard have now shown that the process may actually take months, or ...
