  2. Nuclear emulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_emulsion

    A nuclear emulsion plate is a type of particle detector first used in nuclear and particle physics experiments in the early decades of the 20th century. [1] [2] [3] It is a modified form of photographic plate that can be used to record and investigate fast charged particles like alpha-particles, nucleons, leptons or mesons.

  3. Palierne equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palierne_equation

    Palierne equation connects the dynamic modulus of emulsions with the dynamic modulus of the two phases, size of the droplets and the interphase surface tension.The equation can also be used for suspensions of viscoelastic solid particles in viscoelastic fluids. [1]

  4. Macroemulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroemulsion

    Macroemulsions are dispersed liquid-liquid, thermodynamically unstable systems with particle sizes ranging from 1 to 100 μm (orders of magnitude), which, most often, do not form spontaneously. Macroemulsions scatter light effectively and therefore appear milky, because their droplets are greater than a wavelength of light. [ 1 ]

  5. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    Since then, the particle has been shown to behave, interact, and decay in many of the ways predicted for Higgs particles by the Standard Model, as well as having even parity and zero spin, two fundamental attributes of a Higgs boson. This also means it is the first elementary scalar particle discovered in nature.

  6. Ostwald ripening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_ripening

    This stems from the fact that molecules on the surface of a particle are energetically less stable than the ones in the interior. Cubic crystal structure (sodium chloride) Consider a cubic crystal of atoms: all the atoms inside are bonded to 6 neighbours and are quite stable, but atoms on the surface are only bonded to 5 neighbors or fewer ...

  7. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

    The name "emulsion polymerization" is a misnomer that arises from a historical misconception. Rather than occurring in emulsion droplets, polymerization takes place in the latex/colloid particles that form spontaneously in the first few minutes of the process. These latex particles are typically 100 nm in size, and are made of many individual ...

  8. Population balance equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_balance_equation

    Consider the average number of particles with particle properties denoted by a particle state vector (x,r) (where x corresponds to particle properties like size, density, etc. also known as internal coordinates and, r corresponds to spatial position or external coordinates) dispersed in a continuous phase defined by a phase vector Y(r,t) (which again is a function of all such vectors which ...

  9. Emulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion

    The term "emulsion" is also used to refer to the photo-sensitive side of photographic film. Such a photographic emulsion consists of silver halide colloidal particles dispersed in a gelatin matrix. Nuclear emulsions are similar to photographic emulsions, except that they are used in particle physics to detect high-energy elementary particles.
