Interfacial and bulk stabilization of oil/water system: A novel synergistic approach

Oil/water emulsions are usually stabilized either by interfacial modification using nanoparticles and surfactants (stated as pickering emulsion or bijels) or by bulk stabilization with the help of low‐molecular‐weight or polymeric gelators (known as bigels) in response to some external stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature). Both these approaches...

Rheology of Pure Ionic Liquids and Their Complex Fluids: A Review

Ionic liquids (ILs) are liquid salts at ambient or lower temperatures and consist of ions and short-lived ion pairs. They are potential alternatives to toxic, hazardous, highly flammable, and volatile solvents for preparing solutions, dispersions, gels, composites, and polymeric melts. ILs have some very interesting and unique characteristics...
