Research Progress on Cream with Liquid Crystalline Gel Network Microstructure Formation Theory and Characterization

Abstract:

This paper focuses on a cream with liquid crystalline gel network structure formation theory, elements stabilizing mechanism and microstructure characterization reviewed. Cream mainly composed of the surfactant, an amphiphilic compound and water is formed, creams with liquid crystalline gel network structures are supposed to be four-phase systems,including the hydrophilic gel phase, the lipophilic gel phase, bulk water phase and dispersed phase,through a polarized light microscopy and cryo-transmission electron microscope (Cryo-TEN) can be clearly observed to its internal structure.
