Abstract
The presence of dissolved gas is shown to have a key role in emulsion stability and emulsion polymerization. The observations have implicati ons for hydrophobic interactions, as well as chemical and biological r eactivity. Hydrophobic and micellar surfaces may present favorable ads orption surfaces for dissolved gas as gas hydrates (i.e. clathrates) a nd/or submicrobubbles, and that concentrating the dissolved gas can le ad ultimately to cavitation as the two such surfaces approach.
