This dataset belongs to the PhD thesis of Mark Vis, "Interfacial Thermodynamics of Coexisting Aqueous Polymer Solutions" (Utrecht University, 2015). This dataset contains supplementary movies to Chapter 5. A PDF copy of the PhD thesis is included and can also be accessed through Utrecht University’s library, http://dspace.library.uu.nl/handle/1874/323671.Abstract of Chapter 5:Ultrathin plate-like colloidal particles are effective candidates for Pickering stabilization of water-in-water emulsions, a stabilization that is complicated by the thickness and ultralow tension of the water–water interface. Here we present experiments and theory for the effect of gibbsite nanoplates on phase-separated aqueous solutions of biopolymers dextran and nongelling fish gelatin. Plate-like particles have the advantage of blocking much of the interface while simultaneously having a low mass. Additionally, the amount of blocked interface is practically independent of the equilibrium angle θ at which the water–water interface contacts the nanoplates, as opposed to the wetting of spheres. As a result, the adsorption of nanoplates is stronger than for spheres with the same maximal cross section, except at θ = 90°.
