ABSTRACT

Oil and water nanoemulsions with surfactants vis-a-vis their thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities could be elucidated by the study of equivalence of hydrophilic to hydrophilic and of hydrophobic to hydrophobic, respectively. For normal micelle formation the oil is stoichiometrically dispersed to the core of micelles through the hydrophobic alky chain as the tail of the surfactants. The surfactant has one alkyl chain attached with the one head group. Therefore, at least one-third the amount of oil is always used as compared to surfactants. The survismeter measures physicochemical properties (PCP) of liquid mixtures, which act as an indicator for the quality or stoichiometric ratios. Some of the PCPs are as follows: surface tension; dynamic surface tension; kinematic surface tension; liquid–liquid interfacial tension; biocompatible food membrane; wettability; viscosity; surface area; particle size; and interodynamics.
