TL;DR: In this article, a short description of the coalescence mechanism (droplet collision, film drainage, film rupture) and three micromechanical sedimentation models (Hartland, Lobo, Henschke) and one set of design rules (Polderman) are described.

TL;DR: A method that allows characterization of the droplet size distribution of emulsions using thermal analysis (thermogranulometry), which permits the use of very concentrated samples without any dilution or perturbation of the system.

TL;DR: In this article, three linear copolymers with very different demulsification efficiency were used to characterize their elasticity, oscillations of the copolymer monolayers at the water/air interface have been performed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how differential scanning can be used to characterize water-in-oil emulsions encountered in the oil industry, and point out how it is possible, from a single test performed on an emulsion sample, to get information about the solidification and melting properties of these complex fluids, the emulsion type, the amount of water, the presence of solute, the stability and even the droplet size.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-phase flow is considered of n-heptane drops in a water-glycerin solution at three distinct volume concentrations: Φ d = 0 (single phase flow), 0.1, and 0.2.
