Colloids and Interfaces, Volume 4, Issue 2

CO₂ microbubbles have recently been used in enhanced oil recovery for blocking the high permeability zone in heterogeneous reservoirs. Microbubbles are colloidal gas aphrons stabilized by thick shells of polymer and surfactant. The stability of CO₂ m...

This review aims to highlight the benefits and limitations of the main colloid-based available delivery systems for hydroxytyrosol. Hydroxytyrosol is a phenolic compound with clear biological activities for human wellness. Olive fruits, leaves and ex...

Stable molybdenum blue nanoparticles dispersions were synthesized using ammonium heptamolybdate and ascorbic acid. The effect of molar ratios of reducing agent/Mo and acid/Mo on the speed of formation and stability of the disperse system has been dem...

In this study, water-in-extra virgin olive oil emulsions were enriched with vitamins. Water-in oil emulsions are heterogeneous systems able to solubilize both hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. Thus, hydrophilic vitamin C and lipophilic vitamin E...

In this work, the synthesis and characterization of core/shell nanoparticles of iron carbide@iron oxide (Fe₃C/γ-Fe₂O₃) encapsulated into micelles of sodium dodecylsulfate and oleic acid and stabilized with chitosan was developed. The materials...

The Editorial Office of Colloids and Interfaces would like to make the following correction to the paper by Xiao, C [...]

Critical coagulation concentration (CCC) is a key parameter of particle dispersions, since it provides the threshold limit of electrolyte concentrations, above which the dispersions are destabilized due to rapid particle aggregation. A computational...

The surface tension of C₁₃DMPO aqueous solution drops in hexane vapor is studied using the drop profile method. The hexane was injected into the measuring cell at three different conditions: before the formation of the solution drop, at a certain mom...

The development of active packaging for food preservation is attracting increased attention due to serious environmental problems caused by synthetic and conventional materials. In the present study, the physical, chemical, optical, microstructural,...

The theory of multilayer adsorption of gases, namely the Pickett equation, has been developed to the case of adsorption on arbitrary surfaces in a molecular and a topological approach. We present the prediction of the fractal dimension for the surfac...

We have investigated the surface tension contributions of the counterions, surfactant headgroups and tails, and water molecules in aqueous alkali dodecyl sulfate (DS) solutions close to the saturated surface concentration by analyzing the lateral pre...

In this study, the critical coagulation concentration (CCC) for FEBEX bentonite colloids is determined by colloid coagulation studies under variation of pH, electrolyte concentration, and fulvic acid (GoHy-573FA) content. For CaCl₂ electrolyte soluti...

The development of processes for stabilization of the properties of bioactive compounds has been studied in recent years, and the use of nanotechnology is among the most discussed routes. The present work addressed the assembly of nanostructures usin...
