Emulsions that mix immiscible liquids are central to products from food to cosmetics. For instance, emulsions like mayonnaise mix liquids that don’t normally blend. They require added molecules called ...

Nanoemulsions enable the fabrication of uniform polymeric nanoparticles for various applications, including drug delivery, nanomaterials synthesis, cosmetics, and food manufacturing; however, existing ...

The biodegradable polymer Poly (D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is widely regarded as safe for use in medical applications, seeing common use in the creation of particles used in in vivo studies.

An emulsion is a two-phase system formed by droplets dispersed in another non-miscible liquid. Many emulsions consist of a hydrophobic ‘oily’ phase dispersed in a continuous aqueous phase.

Penn State researchers have developed a new nanoparticle, depicted here, that can prevent mineral buildup in oil extraction equipment and stabilize a commonly used emulsion, or liquid mixture.

A new type of 'bijel' could one day lead to applications in soft robotics, liquid circuitry, and a host of other applications that could benefit from shape-shifting fluids. A new two-dimensional film, ...

The structure of lipid nanoparticles is similar to that of nanoemulsions. Typically, the size of nanoparticles varies between 50 and 1000 nm. It is different from nanoemulsions in that the lipid core ...
