| Résumé : |
Because emulsions are metastable, predicting their stability and phase bahavior is a crucial topic of research. Indeed, emulsions are widely used in the chemical industry and formulators must be able to asses their stability e.g. life-cycle or shelves-life. Although several devices, avaible on the market, are claiming to be able to asses emulsions' stability, they often use laser or ultrasound diffraction techniques which offer limited capabilities for studying opaque emulsions. This study is decribing how the usage of a simple light microscope, already present as a standard equipment in lots of laboratories, can lead to the precise assessment of the particle-size distribution of various cosmetic o/w emulsions. The light microscope was equipped with an objective (40x) having a negative phase-contrast ring. The particle-size characterization by means of phase-contrast microscopy enabled to draw conclusion about the stability over time of two o/w emulsions and to observe the influence of additives on their phase behavior. This novel image analysis method delivered relevant information about the particle-size distribution i.e. stability, of the emulsions at an earlier stage than classical stability tests mathods. |
