Miniemulsion
Okay kiddo, today we are going to learn about miniemulsion. So, do you know what an emulsion is?
No? Alright, an emulsion is like when you mix two things that don't usually mix together, such as oil and water. They separate into separate layers but if you mix them really hard, they can form tiny droplets of one inside the other.
Now, a miniemulsion is a special type of emulsion where you create really tiny droplets of one liquid inside another liquid. These droplets are so small that they are invisible to our eyes.
And why is this important, you may ask? Well, miniemulsion is used for many things such as making paint and coatings, creating tiny beads for drug delivery, and even in food and perfume manufacture.
In miniemulsion, a special substance is added called a surfactant to help keep the tiny droplets stable and stop them from combining back into larger droplets. It is like when you use soap to help mix oil and water.
So, miniemulsion is like making really small droplets of one liquid stay in another liquid by using a special substance called a surfactant. It's like magic!
