Miller R. Emulsions. From Single Interfaces to Applications 2025

Textbook in PDF format This book presents a comprehensive investigation of the complex scientific principles and practical applications of emulsions, offering valuable references for researchers, industry professionals, and advanced students in the fields of physical chemistry, material sciences, and engineering. The book is structured in three sections, which allow the readers to explore the fundamental principles of interfacial phenomena, the methodologies for emulsion preparation, and the diverse applications of emulsions in various industrial branches in depth. The initial section establishes the fundamental principles, with a particular focus on the physico-chemical characterization of interfaces pertinent to emulsion stabilization. The book meticulously examines several topics, including adsorption dynamics, particle-laden interfaces and thin liquid films. It supports these discussions with a combination of experimental techniques and theoretical insights. The second section shifts focus to the practical aspects of emulsion production, examining state-of-the-art methods, the role of stabilizers, and strategies for enhancing their stability, including innovations in nanoemulsions and aqueous two-phase systems. The final section presents several real-world applications, demonstrating the significant role that emulsions play in a number of fields, including the petroleum industry, pest control and pharmaceutical formulations. This text, featuring contributions from leading experts, synthesizes foundational knowledge and cutting-edge research, thereby bridging the gap between theory and practice. With an interdisciplinary scope, the book addresses both academic and industrial perspectives, and is therefore an indispensable addition to the library of anyone working with emulsions. It provides the tools and understanding required to advance work in the development of new materials, optimization of formulations, and investigation of the mechanics of interfacial systems.
