- A hybrid approach to oil structuring – combining wax oleogels and capillary suspensions Tháng Năm 13, 2024Soft Matter, 2024, Advance ArticleDOI: 10.1039/D3SM01619F, PaperSelvyn Simoes, Dérick RousseauCombination of wax oleogelation and capillary suspension gels oil. With no water, dispersed particles prevent wax oleogel formation; water load is key. Capillary suspensions increase oleogel firmness; this depends on particle polarity.To cite this article before page numbers are assigned, use the DOI form of citation […]Selvyn Simoes
