oa Commercialisation of Pickering Emulsions

This event, hosted by the Royal Society of Chemistry, was held at Burlington House, London, UK, on 23rd November 2017. There was a good attendance with 55 delegates from academia and industry, mainly from the UK. A brief overview of some of the presentations is described here to give a flavour of recent progress in this area.

The first session was called ‘Control of Pickering Emulsions’. Professor Bernard P. Binks (University of Hull, UK) reviewed the fundamentals of solid-stabilised emulsions with the use of inorganic silica particles, whereas Professor Steven P. Armes (University of Sheffield, UK) extended the topic with the use of polymer particles.
