Article Synopsis
- The study explores how flexible polymer chains at the interface of cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-based Pickering emulsions affect their rheological and dielectric properties, using liquid paraffin and didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB) as components.
- Results show that varying the amounts of CNF and DDAB alters droplet size and dispersion, leading to changes in viscosity and yield points, with CNF promoting a network formation and DDAB assisting in solubilizing CNF.
- Polarized optical microscopy and fluorescence analysis reveal distinct behaviors of droplets based on CNF and DDAB content, while broadband dielectric spectroscopy further clarifies the relationship between composition, morphology, and physical interactions within the emulsion system
