摘要: The formation and stability of drops in the presence nanoparticles was studied a microfluidic device to directly observe early stages Pickering emulsification (low interfacial coverage). We observed several key differences between oil droplet necking rupture aqueous phases (methylated silica) well-characterised surfactant systems. particles did not influence drop dynamics thus size generated. In addition, observations in-channel shortly after (several milliseconds) indicated that phase slow film thinning processes, but do prevent coalescence. contrast, downstream collection densification (at microchannel outlet), showed particle-stabilised coalesce for weeks, above critical particle concentration. implications our results microfluidics understanding conventional systems are discussed.
