Emulsions : Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop Held in Bergen, Norway, June 24-25, 1991

This work on emulsions features coverage of fundamentals, such as general aspects of stability, interfacial adsorption mechanisms, interfacial rheology and self-diffusion properties as measured by NMR, as well as applications in the fields of food, crude oil and pharmaceutical emulsions.
