Abstract

The growth, via Ostwald ripening, of O/W miniemulsions (formed from pentan-1-ol, sodium dodecyl sulphate, and water) has been investigated using a turbidimetric technique. It was found that the ripening rate was linearly dependent upon the interfacial tension within the emulsion below the CMC of the surfactant, as predicted by the LSW theory for Ostwald ripening.
