Particles of biological origin are of increasing interest for the Pickering stabilization of biocompatible and environmentally friendly foams and emulsions. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are readily employed in that respect, however, the underlying mechanisms of interfacial stabilization remain widely unknown. For instance, it has not been resolved why CNFs are unable to stabilize foams while efficiently stabilizing emulsions. Here, we produce CNFs with varying contour length and charge density…

Using several phase contrast variations, the neutron wave vector (Q) dependence with the intensity showed that CNCs are in contact with the oil phase only via the surface of the CNC and not immersed in oil since the Porod behavior is observed over the whole Q-range revealing no deformation of the oil surface at a nanometer scale.

The slow and reversible buildup of the layer and its unique frequency dependence indicate a weakly aggregated system, which depends on the hydrophobicity and, thus, on the contact angle of the CNC particles at the air/water interface.

CNFs can be used as stabilizing particles for aqueous foams already at a concentration as low as 5 g/L, and the major reasons for this were the small dimensions of the CNF and their high aspect ratio, which is important for gel-formation and the complex viscoelastic modulus of the particle-filled air-water interface.

It is proposed that this two-step process to create CNC HIPEs relies on a swelling process of the droplets that does not desorb the CNCs from the interface, decreasing the coverage ratio of theDroplets and leading to coalescence.

The work showed that enzymatically treated CNFs could be suitable for use in food systems where NaCl and acid are present, while the more highly charged TEMPO-CNFs might be more suited for other applications, where they can contribute to a high emulsion viscosity even at low concentrations.
