The abundance of these resources gives Canada a robust comparative advantage in the industries that extract and process them,â said Michael Burt, Director, Industrial Economic Trends, and co-author of Adding Value to Trade: Moving Beyond Being Hewers of Wood.
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.
A soap, or surfactant as it is referred to in emulsion polymerizations, has two ends of different solubility. One end, termed the tail, is a long hydrocarbon that is soluble in nonpolar, organic compounds. The other, the head, is often a sodium or potassium salt, which is water soluble.he definition for emulsion is: A stable colloidal suspension as milk, consisting of an immiscible liquid dispersed and held in another liquid by a substance called an emulsifier. In order to understand emulsion polymerization and emulsifiers, we ve got to understand how soap works. Yes, soap!
