Effect of Alkane Chain Length on Crystallization in Emulsions during Supercooling in Quiescent Systems and under Mechanical Stress

Effect of Alkane Chain Length on Crystallization in Emulsions during Supercooling in Quiescent Systems and under Mechanical Stress

Crystallization behavior of hexadecane (C16H34), octadecane (C18H38), eicosane (C20H42), and docosane (C22H46) dispersions of similar mean droplet diameter (x50.2 ≈ 15 µm) was investigated in quiescent systems and compared to crystallization under mechanical stress. In quiescent systems, the require...
