Other advantages include minimal sample preparation effort and compatibility with a wide range of emulsion formulations. However, the resulting data can be rather complex and, thus, difficult to fully understand and interpret. To tackle this, we developed two analytical methodologies that enable an easy and intuitive understanding of the data as well as an objective, quantitative analysis and validated them using six model emulsions employing different surfactants. Through their application, insights with unprecedented clarity into dynamic emulsion behavior, stability mechanisms, and emulsion-based processes can be gained, facilitating advancements in fields such as food science, pharmaceuticals, and materials engineering. 4950 https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.4c06850$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:465-20250305-160953-6$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00082435 5051 620 5550 Computational chemistry 5550 Emulsions 5550 Liquids 5550 Stability 5550 Surfactants
