Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...

Shiseido has filed a patent for an oil-in-water emulsion composition that aims to improve emulsion stability and provide a more moisturizing feel. The composition includes a copolymer, batyl alcohol, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Emulsions are two-phase systems consisting of a dispersed phase (the droplets or particles) and a continuous phase (liquid diluent like water). In the dispersed phase, droplet size is critically ...
