A liquid membrane system can refer to a type of emulsion, a waterproofing method, or a fluid phase that separates other phases.
As an emulsion
A liquid membrane system is also known as a multiple emulsion.
It can be water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) or oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O).
It's used in applications like controlled release of active agents, encapsulation of sensitive components, and separation processes.
As a waterproofing method
A liquid membrane system can be used to create a waterproof barrier on a surface.
It can be made of polyurethane, acrylic, rubber, or plastic.
It's applied to a surface using a brush, roller, or spray.
As it cures, it forms a seamless, continuous membrane that seals and waterproofs the area.
As a fluid phase
A liquid membrane is a fluid or quasi-fluid phase that separates two other phases that are immiscible with the LM.
It's used in various applications, including ion-selective electrodes.
