Preface

This book covers new micro-/nanoemulsion systems in technology that has developed our knowledge of emulsion stability. The emulsion system is a major phenomenon in well-quali‐ fied products and has extensive usages in cosmetic industry, food industry, oil recovery, and mineral processes. Numerous studies have been focused on the stability of the emulsion systems behind nanoscale structures by understanding particle size, particle shape, distribu‐ tion, interfacial properties, and physicochemical behaviors. In this book, readers will find the recent studies, applications, and new technological developments on fundamental prop‐ erties of emulsion systems. We sincerely thank the authors who have contributed with expe‐ rience and knowledge to this book. Especially, our thanks goes to the editorial team of
