I. INTRODUCTION An emulsion is conventionally defined as a heterogeneous system, made by dispersing one liquid in another, that forms globules in a continuous phase. Additives referred to as surfactants are added to the system to increase the stability of the emulsion. The surfactant molecules are adsorbed onto the surface of the droplets and consequently modify the interfacial properties as shown in other chapters of this book.
