Confinement induced alteration of morphologies of oil-water emulsion.
Langmuir : the ACS Journal of Surfaces and Colloids 2019 Februrary 19
Reversible alteration between different emulsion morphologies like core-shell and Janus is conventionally triggered by altering the interfacial energy between different phases. In contrast, here we show that the morphology of dispersed droplets can change also when the emulsion is sufficiently confined between two parallel plates. In particular we use three immiscible phases: silicone oil, paraffin oil and aqueous solution of surface active agents like Agarose, SDS, AOT, CTAB to generate oil in water emulsion consisting of complex morphologies of the dispersed droplets. At the unconfined state, the core-shell drops appear with paraffin oil at core and silicone oil at the shell. However, the morphology of oil droplets changes to Janus when the emulsion is confined between two parallel plates. We have shown that the meniscus of the continuous phase that forms between the parallel plates, alter the pressure field in the emulsion and the total energy of the system, which trigger such morphological transition.
