Abstract
Liquid mixtures have been the focus of study since ages, attributed to the moderate strength of their constituent intermolecular forces (IMFs). Emulsions represent one challenging member of this family, which typically comprise of at least three constituents. One is a dispersed phase while the other one is recognized as dispersion medium. Fundamental constraint of emulsion terminology is surmised in the fact that the constituent phases are immiscible with each other. From the chemistry viewpoint, this characteristic predicts one of the phases to be hydrophilic while the other one as hydrophobic. To mix such materials, a linker that could facilitate the interactions is needed. The most common substances having such abilities are surfactants, amphipathic molecules that could be cationic, anionic or nonionic, depending on their charge sensitivities. Several terminologies attract interest to understand the fundamentals of emulsion formation and the most important amongst them is the stability assurance regarding the preservation of intact structure of dispersed phase. Keeping these considerations at priority, this chapter intends to shed light on the major defining distinctions of emulsions and the stability elongation mechanisms of nanoemulsions. The recent advances in the stability strengthening mechanisms would be discussed with particular interest.
