Water in Oil Nanoemulsion Prepared by High-Intensity Ultrasound.wmv

Nano-emulsification of water in a mineral oil has been carried out using a 2 kW ultrasonic system manufactured by Industrial Sonomechanics, LLC. A common converging ultrasonic horn (tip diameter 15.6 mm) was used in the first part of the video, producing 40 ml of the nano-emulsion. A Barbell horn (tip diameter 35 mm) was used in the second part of the video, allowing to scale up the volume of the formulation by a factor of 5, thereby producing 200 ml of the nano-emulsion. The ultrasonic amplitude delivered by both horns was 60 microns. More information is available at http://www.sonomechanics.com

Do you have a method to have a stable Oil in water emulsion ? I have tween 20, tween 80, alginate, pva, pvp... thanks !

[IndustSonomechanics]

@bobbledill Yes, with our equipment you can make permanently stable oil-in-water emulsion. Which tween to use depends on the oil type. A little Span also helps if you want to make translucent nanoemulsions.

@bobbledill There is more information on sonomechanics web page in -> applications -> cosmetic and dermatological -> translucent nanoemulsions

[bobbledill]

What are the surfactants?

[IndustSonomechanics]

@bobbledill Tween 80 and Span 80, approximately 50%/50%

good one...but have you done this NE on the pharmaceutical based...
