Fig. 2. Schematic illustration of the primary stability mechanisms in nanoemulsions. Created by the author with BioRender.com. (A) Steric and/or electrostatic repulsion provided by the surfactant layer prevents droplet coalescence by creating a repulsive barrier between approaching droplets. (B) The constant and random Brownian motion of the nano-sized droplets overcomes the force of gravity, preventing creaming or sedimentation and ensuring long-term physical stability.
