Colloidal stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions in aqueous partially saponified poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions of low concentration as continuous phase.
Water-soluble polymers (WSPs) are normally used as thickeners for colloidal stabilization of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions because the creaming of O/W emulsions is prevented by increasing the viscosity of continuous phase. We examine here the effect of WSPs such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) a...
