Coarse Dispersion Flashcards
Emulsion types
O/w, w/o, multiple emulsions
Emulsifying agents that adsorbed at oil-water interfaces to form monomolecular films and reduce interfacial tension
Surface-active agents
Emulsifying agents which form a multimolecular film around the dispersed droplets
Hydrophilic colloids
Emulsifying agents which are adsorbed at the interface between two immiscible liquid phases and form what amounts to a film of particles around the dispersed globules
Finely divided solid particles
Polar non polar nature of the emulsifying agent
Hydrophile-Lipophile Balanch
Results from the flocculate and cocentration of the globhesf kf of internal pbase
Creaming
Concentration of the internal phase above which the emulsifying agent cannot produce a stable emulsion of the desired type
Critical point
Motion of the entire volume of emulsion in the field due to the pressure exerted by the immersion objective on the cover glass, evaporation of the continuous phase, or convection currents from heating by light source
Field flow
Indicates the relative change in conductivity between two cycles
Stability Index
Consists of large or swollen micelles containing the internal phaae
Microemulsions
Coarse dispersion in which insoluble solid particles are dispersed in liquid medium
Suspensions
T/F there is an inc in surface free energy as the particle size increases
F dec dapat
T/F inc size will lead to an inc in surface potential
F
Weakly bonded, settle rapidly, do not form cake
Flocculated suspension
Used to describe the settling of flocculated suspension
Subsidence
