Ripening of Nonaqueous Emulsions of n-Decane in Dimethyl Sulfoxide Observed by Time-Resolved Spin-Echo Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SESANS) Since macroemulsions are only kinetically stable, characterizing their behavior as they change over time is relevant to their application. Time-of-flight spin-echo small-angle neutron scattering (SESA...

We tracked the ripening of n-decane/DMSO emulsions using time-resolved SESANS 🌀 Neutron scattering revealed Ostwald ripening at 25 μm³/h + micellar transport!
A powerful, non-invasive way to watch dense emulsions evolve.
