Emulsions are commonly found both in nature and industry. Due to the complex nature of emulsion systems, their interfacial properties and stability are poorly understood, particularly the influence of droplet deformability on the colloid and interfacial behaviour. This study has highlighted the role of emulsion droplet cross-linking (deformability and penetrability) on droplet surface chemistry, droplet colloidal stability and adsorption at the droplet-water interface and provides insight into methods for enhancing the performance of emulsion formulations.
