"This is proof of principle phase. We're working towards generalizing the process," he says. "We have designed a process that can be expanded to a range of industrially important reactions. "By using ...

Pickering emulsion polymerization harnesses the stabilising action of colloidal particles at oil–water interfaces to produce polymeric nanoparticles with inorganic or hybrid shells. Unlike ...

Each droplet in this glowing emulsion is held together by a special molecule: a fluorescent emulsifying agent. Rakesh Narani, a PhD student in the lab of Che-Jen Lin at National Dong Hwa University, ...

Emulsion systems, comprising discrete droplets of one liquid dispersed within another immiscible liquid, are ubiquitous in industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals and ...

Reverse osmosis is used worldwide to purify drinking water. It is deployed at extremely large scales in desalination plants and is a leading technology in potable water reuse, also called ...

Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University's Department of Chemistry have improved a popular technology used to generate a range of industrial plastics for applications ranging from paints and coatings ...

Developed by Rohm and Haas in the 1940s, water-based acrylic emulsion technology filled a need for easy-to-use household paints for a growing suburban population in the United States following World ...

video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.
