Interfaces stabilized by nonionic surfactants: a combined computational and experimental study

A Moghimikheirabadi - 2020 - research-collection.ethz.ch
Nonionic surfactants can be used as stabilizers in emulsions and foams in eg food products.
This is achieved due to their amphiphilic nature, which makes them strongly adsorb at fluid …
