My Background:
The formulation of personal care and household liquid products is complex.
The 'quality feel' and shelf-life of the product are important criteria
toward customer satisfaction. For emulsions, command of droplet size
and size distribution is crucial to controlling these criteria. Factors
affecting the emulsion's structure include: 1. The physical and
chemical properties of the dispersed and continuous phase (and surface
active agents) and their relative proportions. 2. The equipment used
and its parameters. 3. The mixing method used. 4. The environmental
conditions, such as temperature and pressure. This work is
investigating certain aspects of the emulsifying equipment for a range
of emulsions.
