The Effect of Nanoparticle Hydrophobicity on the Rheology of Highly Concentrated Emulsions

A series of fumed silica nanoparticles were used as an additional emulsifier for highly concentrated (HC) waterin- oil (W/O) emulsions. These nanoparticles, with different hydrophobicity index (HI) in the 0.60- 1.34 and HI>3 range, were mixed with the conventional low molecular weight surfactant,...
