An in-situ method of measuring the viscosity of unstable and stable emulsions on a continuous basis under agitation conditions was developed and utilized to investigate the viscous behaviour of surfactant-stabilized and nanoparticles-stabilized oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions at different volume fractions of the dispersed phase (oil). The stability characteristics (droplet size and phase-separation) of emulsions under quiescent conditions were also determined with the aging of emulsions. Emulsions are Newtonian at low volume fractions of the dispersed phase. At high concentrations of the dispersed phase, emulsions behave as non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids. The nanoparticles-stabilized (Pickering) emulsions are unstable in comparison with the surfactant-stabilized emulsions. The droplet sizes of Pickering emulsions increase rapidly with aging, whereas the droplet sizes of surfactant-stabilized remain nearly the same over a period of 24 h. However, Pickering emulsions are much more viscous than the surfactant-stabilized emulsions when comparison is made at the same volume fraction of the dispersed phase.

Methods of formation of emulsions and foams are given; both types of system are stabilized by surfactants. Emulsions can be oil-in-water or water-in-oil type and the preferred type is discussed in terms of the hydrophile–lipophile balance of the system, which ultimately depends on the preferred curvature of close-packed surfactant monolayers at droplet interfaces. Droplet and bubble size distributions in emulsions and foams respectively, evolve with time through Ostwald ripening (bubble disproportionation in foams); larger drops (bubbles) grow at the expense of smaller ones since the Laplace pressure in small bubbles/drops exceeds that in large ones. Creaming occurs in emulsions (if drops are less dense than the medium) and in foams so the volume fraction of dispersed phase, ϕ‎, changes with height. At high ϕ‎ both emulsions and foams assume polyhedral structures giving high internal phase emulsions and ‘dry’ foams, respectively. Methods of breaking unwanted emulsions and foams are described.

Abstract The microstructure and magnetic properties of nanocomposite hard magnetic Nd-Fe-B-(Re, Ti) materials with different Nd and Fe contents are studied. The role of Re and Ti addition in phase composition and volume fraction of the Nd-Fe-B phase is determined. All samples are annealed at the same temperature of 993 K for 10 min. Mössbauer spectroscopy shows that the addition of 4 at.% of Re to the Nd8Fe78B14 alloy leads to creation of an ineligible amount of the magnetically hard Nd2Fe14B phase. Moreover, the microstructure and magnetic characteristics recorded in a wide range of temperatures for the Nd8Fe79−xB13Mx (x = 4; M = Re or Ti) alloys are also analyzed.

Novel composite resins with dual absorption properties of water and oil are prepared by the polymerization of high internal phase emulsion (HIPEs) with n-butyl methacrylate as the external phase monomer and acrylamide as the internal phase monomer. The subsequent polymerization leads to the formation of water and oil dual-absorption composite resins. The morphology of porous structure and microcosmic phase separation after water/oil uptake is observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water and oil absorbency strongly depend on composition. The composites with saturated water uptake could absorb the chloroform again but cant absorb water if saturated with chloroform first. And the resins exhibit great reusability, keeping almost constant absorbency. The present methodology could be a potential approach to obtain amphiphilic composites, which possess potential applications in the bioengineering, medical and industrial fields.
