Introductory Chapter: The Perspective of Emulsion Systems

Abstract

Emulsions (0.1–100 mm) are metastable systems and commonly used in our daily life. They are extensively preferred on many industrial processes in the food, beverage, dye, detergent, drug, cosmetic, coating, technological areas, agricultural, and petroleum production due to their special rheological (yield stress, viscosity and storage or loss modulus) and antibacterial properties [1–3]. Generally, synthesis methods for emulsion systems are stirring, colloid mills, and high-pressure homogenizers [4, 5].
