Classification of Particles as foam and emulsion Role of Surfactants for various foam and emulsion properties:(a) Thin film drainage and stability(b) Foam rheology(c) Foam drainage(d) Ostwald ripening4. Current Low molecular mass Surfactants 9 Nonionic 9 Ionic9 Amphoteric Polymeric surfactants9 Synthetic9 Natural Particles as surfactant species9 Spherical vs. non-spherical9 Hydrophilic vs.
Relation between HLB and surfactant applications HLB < 8 HLB > 10 • Mixing unlike oils together – surfactants with HLB’s of 1 to 3 • Preparing water-in-oil emulsions – surfactants with HLB’s of 4 to 6 • Preparing self emulsifying oils
