Abstract
The diffusion propagator of the continuous aqueous phase of concentrated oil-in-water emulsions is used to probe the relationship between emulsion microstructure and bulk rheological properties. This is done by expanding the stimulated echo amplitude, S(q,Δ), as a multiple exponential time series expansion in δ, with wavevector dependent expansion coefficients. These coefficients are compared with predictions from several theoretical models for three types of stable emulsion, each differing in microstructure. Empiric relationships between the wavevector expansion coefficients and bulk rheology are established.
