Structural dynamics and environmental safety of thyme essential oil-based nanoemulsions: a look at nanoscale organization and ecotoxicological outcomes.
The development of stable, high-concentration oil-in-water nanoemulsions (NEs) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) is hindered by intrinsic instability mechanisms, such as Ostwald ripening, and by challenges in characterizing concentrated, optically complex systems. Here, a rational, inquiry-driven formulation stra...
