A surfactant (the shortened name for "surface-acting agent") is a chemical compound that changes how a liquid behaves. When a ...

The two components are referred to as the dispersed phase and continuous phase respectively. Either phase can be a solid, liquid, or gas, creating a range of possible colloidal systems. Many colloids ...

This approach allows for the control of particle size and morphology by adjusting the emulsion parameters, such as the surfactant type and concentration, the liquid crystal-to-continuous phase ratio, ...
