Emulsions are found almost everywhere from daily products like mayonnaise to paint and coating formulations and the oil industry. The stability of the emulsions is important as increased emulsion stability increases the product's shelf life. Then on the other hand, in some processes such as enhanced oil recovery, unwanted emulsion formation happens, and effective demulsification methods are required. Dilatational interfacial rheology measurements can be used to evaluate the stability of the emulsions. In this webinar, some of the basic concepts related to emulsion stability are overviewed. The dilatational interfacial rheology measurement is explained, and examples of real-life situations are presented through case studies.
Presenter: Susanna Lauren, Ph.D., Commercial Portfolio Manager - Attension & KSV NIMA
Susanna is commercial Portfolio Manager for both Attension and KSV NIMA brands at Biolin Scientific. In her Ph.D. thesis, she developed fabrication methods for a new type of inorganic-organic polymers. Microfabricated polymer chips were utilized as tools for biomolecule separation in analytical chemistry.
