Research progress on nanoparticle stabilizing Pickering emulsion and droplet coalescence dynamics
Emulsion is a good dispersion system,which could be used in medicine,food,materials and other fields.Nanoparticles could effectively improve the stability of the emulsion,accordingly,the studies on nanoparticles stabilizing emulsions and droplet coalescence dynamics are of critical importance for the preparation and application of stable emulsions.The wettability,size,shape,concentration of nanoparticles and charge type carried by nanoparticles all affect the interaction between nanoparticles and droplets,and then affect the coalescence behavior between droplets.This article introduces the interaction mechanism between nanoparticles and droplets,reviews the research progress of droplet aggregation dynamics,and looks forward to future research directions.
