An Overview of Micro- and Nanoemulsions as Vehicles for Essential Oils: Formulation, Preparation and Stability (2020, background): “Although they show many similarities, MEs and NEs also possess significant differences that allow their identification and classification [35].”
Influence of surfactant and processing conditions in the stability of oil-in-water nanoemulsions (2015, background): “This is due the fact that unlike microemulsions, that change their morphology, size and shape as a function of temperature and/or composition, nanoemulsions stability is less sensitive to temperature increase, and this change does not promote a modification in the continuous phase, being the droplet”
Nano-emulsions: Formation by low-energy methods (2012, background): “The use of other forms, as “micro-emulsion” [33], could be misleading.”
Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture: Recent Developments, Challenges, and Perspectives (2017, background): “Nanoemulsions are formed by very small emulsion nanoscale droplets (oil/water system) exhibiting sizes lower than ∼100 nm (Gutiérrez et al., 2008; Anton and Vandamme, 2011).”
