| Researchers at Purdue University have determined a method of creating emulsions of water and oil interfaces. Normally, this process requires a significant driving force to disperse droplets. Purdue's approach, on the other hand, employs the flux of a common phase transfer agent across the oil-water interface to promote emulsification, thereby reducing the external energy required for droplets to form. This technology has a broad range of applications in industries such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and chemicals, as well as other sectors where emulsification is employed. Advantages: - Spontaneous emulsion of oil and water - No requirement of external energy Applications: - Pharmaceutical Development and Manufacturing - Cosmetics Manufacturing - Food Production - Chemical Manufacturing Related Publication: Colón-Quintana, G.S., Clarke, T.B. & Dick, J.E.

Nat Commun 14, 705 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-35964-9 Technology Validation: This technology has been validated through testing of the proposed method at a small scale in a lab environment. |
