Ra. Arlauskas et al., ANALYSIS OF OSTWALD RIPENING IN FLUOROCARBON EMULSIONS BY SEDIMENTATION FIELD-FLOW FRACTIONATION, Artificial cells, blood substitutes, and immobilization biotechnology, 22(4), 1994, pp. 1317-1323
The Ostwald ripening mechanism has been studied using sedimentation fi
eld-flow fractionation (SdFFF). It has been shown that significant par
titioning between different sized droplets occurs for two component di
sperse phase emulsions, when one of the components is virtually insolu
ble in the continuous phase.
