Emulsions and foams are ubiquitously found in pharmaceutical, agricultural, personal care, and food products. Although it has been known for more than a century that small, nanoscale particles may be added to stabilize these products and increase their shelf-life, accurately capturing the behavior of these particles remains extremely challenging. In this article, UConn researchers critically compare two state-of-the-art experimental methods for studying particles at an interface, laying the foundation for predicting and improving the stability and performance of a wide range of commercial products.
