Modulating the Spontaneous Adsorption of Lignin Nanoparticle at Oil-Water Interfaces.

ABSTRACT: The performance of (nano)particles in the stabilization of Pickering emulsions depends on their physicochemical features. Therefore, synthetic particles are commonly applied in Pickering stabilization, despite the environmental issues their use raises. Recently, lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) derived from industrial side streams have been investigated as biobased alternatives to replace synthetic stabilizers. Having a well-defined surface chemistry, monodisperse morphology, and a unique core-shell composition, LNPs are hypothesized to show diverse functionality and adsorption capacity at the oil-water interface that affects the long-term Pickering emulsion stability. To gain an understanding on the effect of various colloidal parameters, i.e., type of LNP, type of oil-water system, pH, LNP co
