ABSTRACT
The stability of oil in water emulsions containing a triisocyanate soluble in the oil phase was investigated. The oil component was either di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) or a mixture of DBP with liquid paraffin. The time required for the average size parameter to reach a constant value was studied. It was found that the polyurea film produced by an interfacial polymerization reaction between water and a triisocyanate contributed to make the stable emulsions. The effects of drop size, temperature, polarity of oil phase, triisocyanate concentration, and mechanical stirring on the stability of the emulsions were established in this study. The film thickness at the point where the average size parameter reached a constant value was found to be of the order of 0. 002 ∼ 0. 004μ.
