Abstract
AbstractElementary processes in the production and stabilization of emulsions. When developing new emulsifying agents with a specially low environmental impact, when using emulsifying agents in various branches of industry, and when breaking down emulsions (a very frequent requirement), an understanding of the elementary processes which take place is of great help. The paper provides a comprehensive account of the various elementary processes involved in the production and stabilization of emulsions otherwise scattered throughout the literature. The interplay of the individual elementary processes shows how emulsifying agents and stabilizers differ in their modes of operation. In discussing the structures which occur in aqueous tenside systems, it is pointed out that the swelling of micelles is an elementary process responsible for solubilization and cream formation.
