Relationships Between Composition, Microstructure, Rheology, and Functional Performance in Carbopol-Based Emulgels and Bigels
This study investigates composition-microstructure-rheology-performance relationships in Carbopol-based emulgels and bigels containing different oils. Optical microscopy revealed polydisperse droplets in liquid paraffin, isopropyl myristate, and almond oil formulations, whereas cetyl alcohol systems exhibited larger, i...
