Effects of Hydrophobic Phase Properties on Controlling Nanoparticle Jamming at Oil/Water and Air/Water Interfaces.

ABSTRACT: Fluid/fluid interfaces stabilized with strongly adsorbed solid nanoparticles are implemented in industries including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food science. Solid particles at the interface result in complex interfacial mechanics, which are highly dependent on interfacial particle behavior and bulk properties of both fluid phases. Many interfacial studies have been conducted characterizing the effects of the aqueous fluid properties such as particle chemistry, pH, temperature, salinity, and the impact of surfactant and other additives on interfacial mechanics and adsorption behavior. However, the role of the hydrophobic phase on interfacial stability, as well as the adsorption and organization of interfacial material, is less understood. In this work, mechanical properties of particl
