Abstract
This work investigates the demixing behavior of Pickering emulsions consisting of water, n-hexadecane, and two different types of Pickering particles. The first type is uniform, and the second consists of one-side modified Janus particles influencing the emulsion behavior significantly. Both particle types are able to stabilize the emulsions, but lead to clear differences in the emulsion drop size and size distribution. This results in different creaming times varying between minutes and hours and different clearance processes of the water excess phase. Large pH effects were found in addition. At some conditions, non-adsorbed particles were observed that sediment over time in addition to the creaming of the emulsion.
