Coalescence of Two Immiscible Liquid Drops

Coalescence of Two Immiscible Liquid Drops

When two immiscible liquid drops suspended in a third immiscible liquid are brought into contact, three equilibrium configurations which depend upon the spreading coefficients are possible. Experiments for a large number of systems, including three-phase emulsions, confirm the theory and indicate th...

Zusammenfassung:When two immiscible liquid drops suspended in a third immiscible liquid are brought into contact, three equilibrium configurations which depend upon the spreading coefficients are possible. Experiments for a large number of systems, including three-phase emulsions, confirm the theory and indicate the mechanisms of reaching equilibrium.
