In water-immiscible solvents, oil-in-water emulsions are not stable as the oil droplets coalesce until complete phase separation is achieved at macroscopic levels.
The film manufacturer's data sheets should be consulted to arrive at the correction required as different emulsions have different characteristics.
Nuclear emulsions can be used to record and investigate fast charged particles like nucleons or mesons.
They can aid in the formation of stable emulsions, or blends, of water and fats.
The photographic emulsions then in use were insensitive to most of the spectrum, so the result was very imperfect and the demonstration was soon forgotten.
Two special classes of emulsions microemulsions and nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes below 100 nm appear translucent.
Emulsions are often referred to as third phases in the solvent extraction community.
In industry, it is used to color nonpolar substances like oils, fats, waxes, greases, various hydrocarbon products, and acrylic emulsions.
