  • Published : 2004.05.01

Abstract

In this study, we describe the application of electron microscopes that incorporate freeze treatments or cryo systems to achieve the characterization of the microstuctures of emulsions. We confirmed that the preparations of freezing replica method and with cryo systems were useful to clarify the microstuctures of the emulsions. This methodology will be able to contribute to understanding the relation between microstuctures and rheology of emulsions.

본 연구에서는 에멀젼의 미세구조 분석을 위한 동결처리 전자현미경 분석의 응용에 대해 소개하였다. 동결처리 전자현미경 분극법은 에멀젼의 미세구조 분석 및 해석에 유용하며, 이러한 미세구조 해석을 통해 에멀젼의 유동 특성 발현에 대한 메카니즘의 설명이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
