The effect of high pressure gradients with the help of the membrane under which a decreased pressure is created and centrifugal forces on a decrease of the content of the dispersion medium in the emulsion and foam and increase in the capillary pressure was studied. In a centrifugal field at low angular velocity of rotation (omega=52.3 s(-1)) the equilibrium capillary pressure is established in the emulsion and foam. At higher angular velocity the emulsion and foam were collapsed as a certain pressure is reached in Plateau borders of the emulsion and foam; this pressure was smaller than the pressure balancing the forces of the centrifugal field. The capillary pressure in the highly dispersed emulsion reached pressure drop applied to the membrane (P(sigma)=P(T)=70 kPa). Emulsions from sodium dodecylsulfate and 9-10 oxyethylated alkylphenol (OP-7) with 0.1 and 0.4 mol/dm(3) NaCl adding prepared by shaking with hexane and dodecane destructed at some capillary pressure which were less than the pressure drop supplied to the porous membrane.

NaCl and CaCl are commonly used edible salts in food. The synergistic influences of these two salts on the physicochemical properties of whey protein isolate-carrageenan (WPI-Car) complexes were investigated in relation to their foaming and emulsifying properties. The results showed that as the ratio of NaCl: CaCl decreased from 6:0 to 3:3, the turbidity of the complexes increased from 0.

Gas foam injection offers a viable solution to challenges faced in oil reservoirs, yet ensuring optimal foamability and stability remains a pivotal hurdle in practical field operations. This study presents a novel synthesis procedure to create silica (SiO) Janus nanoparticles (JNPs) and examines their potential to enhance gas foam stability for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) applications. Two variations of SiO JNPs were synthesized via a masking procedure, employing oleic acid and ascorbic acid within a Pickering emulsion, marking a pioneering approach.

Biomass foam with porous structure has broad application prospects in thermal energy management. However, traditional foams can only passively insulate heat, unable to effectively store thermal energy and prolong the insulation time. In this work, microcapsules rich in paraffin were prepared using the Pickering emulsion template method with phosphorylated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) as an emulsifier.

The traditional foams can only block heat loss, and cannot effectively store and release heat energy on demand to extend the insulation time. In this work, the paraffin-rich monolayer microcapsules were prepared using negatively charged phosphorylated cellulose nanofibers (CNF) as the emulsifier of Pickering emulsion. The positive chitosan was assembled on the surface of the monolayer microcapsules through an electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly method to prepare the bilayer microcapsules.
