Crushing Emulsions: A tensiometer study of different diameter ferromagnetic emulsions
POSTER
Abstract
Generating emulsions with microfluidics has become a popular topic in science over the last decade. While most of these emulsions are thermodynamically unstable, recent developments have succeeded in making stable emulsions with hard-shells using nanoparticles. This study focuses on measuring the tension required to crush these hard-shelled emulsions as a function of their diameter. At the time of this writing, we are also exploring how these destructive properties manifest in both double and single emulsions as a function of their size.
