Time (min)
Figure 2 Ultrasound velocity plotted against time for the 123-nm Caflon-stabilized
emulsion (Caflon1). The temperature was cycled at 21C min 1 between 0
and 401C for 270 h. The size distribution did not change during the experiment

temperature during crystallization; temperature fluctuations and heat dispersal;
the range of interactions between the molecules; depletion flocculation; and
interfacial tension.

27.4 Results and Discussion
The stability of our emulsions was assessed by repeated temperature cycling of
the emulsion (see, e.g., Figure 2). Data for the 130-nm Tween 20 emulsion are
