The resistance can be characterized by elastic and viscous moduli, that affect the phenomena involving the motion of liquid surfaces such as wetting, two-phase flow, foaming and emulsification, rheology and stability of foams and emulsions. Some of these phenomena, for instance coalescence of bubbles or drops, are extremely rapid, and although coalescence seems correlated with the elastic compression modulus, no quantitative comparison has been made. Indeed, this modulus is frequency dependent, and cannot be measured by most conventional devices at the short timescales during which coalescence events occur. In this paper, we first review the current understanding on foam and emulsion stability, highlighting the role of surface rheology in the stability of these systems, important for their formulation. We present tension measurements for various surfactant systems, nonionic and cationic, at oil–water interfaces. We show calculations of the high frequency elastic modulus using the Gibbs adsorption equation and compare the results to previous measurements at air–water interfaces. The moduli measured imposing a rapid expansion of the monolayers are consistently smaller, in particular at oil–water interfaces. We discuss the possible origin of the differences between the two types of interfaces.</p>","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"28 3","pages":"423-435"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jsde.12806","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that, the foam stability rising steadily with the decrease of surface tension, which indicates that low surface tension favors the improvement of foam stability. However, when at the studied highest surface tension, the foam stability elevates slightly instead, demonstrating the surface tension is not the determinant of foam stability. By contrast, the dilational visco-elasticity shows a closer correlation with foam stability for the consistent tendency. In the case of constantly changing disturbance frequency, the interface dilational elasticity shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the rise of disturbance frequency, whereas the interface dilational viscosity is completely opposite.

The hydrophilic–lipophilic deviation (HLD) concept serves as a useful formulation tool by describing the interactions between surfactants, oil and water. However, for mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants, the HLD concept assumes ideal mixing behavior, which does not hold true. Therefore, interactions between different surfactants must be considered. This can be achieved by introducing the interaction term <i>G</i><sub>EX</sub>/<i>RT</i>. Evaluating this interaction term using a set of equilibrated surfactant/oil/water (SOW) systems under various conditions is both time-consuming and resource intensive. This work aims to demonstrate the rapid determination of this interaction term using the dynamic phase salinity inversion (DSPI) method. We determined the phase behavior of a ternary surfactant system, consisting of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, alkyl polyglucoside, and fatty alcohol ethoxylate, through both equilibrated systems and the DSPI method. Differences between the theoretical HLD calculations and actual experiments allowed us to access interaction terms. To validate <i>G</i><sub>EX</sub>/<i>RT</i> obtained by DSPI, we employed net-average-curvature concept to model the interfacial tension under different conditions. Spinning drop measurements showed excellent agreement between theoretical and measured values, confirming the applicability of DSPI for determining interactions in this surfactant system.</p>","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"28 3","pages":"401-410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jsde.12809","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the effect of droplet charge density on stabilization of the <i>n</i>-decane-in-water OID emulsion was examined by using a cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB)/C<sub>12</sub>B (dodecyl dimethyl carboxyl betaine) binary mixture at a low fixed total concentration (0.01 mM) with varying molar fractions of CTAB. A model based on the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory is proposed to calculate interaction energies between droplets and between droplets and particles. It is found that the droplet charge density can be well compensated by particle concentration along the stabilization boundary, and the OID emulsion still follows the DLVO stabilization. Particles tend to surround droplets at large distances but may form a monolayer between approaching droplets at shorter distances, which significantly reduces the van der Waals attraction between droplets. In addition, the induced auxiliary droplet–particle repulsion is proportional to the number of particles per unit area of droplet surfaces, which together with the droplet–droplet repulsion ensures a large total repulsion preventing droplets from flocculation and coalescence. This work explains quantitatively the stabilization of OID emulsions, which have potential applications in emulsion products such as foods, cosmetics, pesticides, and various industrial emulsion systems. Moreover, the development of the OID emulsions represents an important advancement in green chemistry as it substantially reduces the required amounts of emulsifiers and their environmental impact after use.</p>","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"28 2","pages":"373-387"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565303","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
