Principle and application of emulsion and foam systems stabilized by particles.II. Phase inversion of Pickering emulsion

Phase inversion phenomenon of Pickering emulsion stabilized by particles was briefed.Starting from emulsion phase inversion mechanism,single phase inversion initiated by water-to-oil volume ratio,mixing of different particles and particle concentration as well as the double phase inversion of the emulsion induced by the coordination of surfactant and particles were introduced in details.At last,the characterization methods and the application of phase inversion of Pickering emulsion were summarized.
