This seminar will address two strategies for controlling emulsion stability using self-assembled films. The first part will focus on highly stable emulsions obtained with self-assembled surfactant films, highlighting their origin and the means to control stability in order to produce emulsions with a high volume of oil phase dispersed in water (HIPEs). The second part introduces aqueous coacervate emulsions dispersed in organic solvents and their application in enzymatic catalysis, opening up possibilities for biocatalysis in systems that cannot be conducted in an aqueous phase.
