The ability to 3-D print liquid inks and soft materials—such as polymers, colloidal solutions, and even living cells—is useful for tissue engineering, prosthetics, and medical applications. A new oil ...

Wastewater from many industries, restaurants, and households, contains stable oil-water emulsions that are challenging to break apart. Membranes can do this separation without using chemicals or large ...

A solar emulsion evaporator built with graphene oxide and carbon nanotubes adapts to oil, salt, and microbes, maintaining clean water production in harsh conditions. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Freshwater ...

Industrial wastewater treatment remains a complex and evolving challenge, particularly when it comes to the removal of ...

From a technical standpoint, conventional emulsions can be understood as oil-in-water emulsions, whereby the continuous phase is water. Inverse emulsions are the opposite, for example, water-in-oil ...

Research by Saudi Arabian Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) shows that colloid chemistry analytical tools combined with advanced analytics enable clearer understanding of the emulsion properties.
