This study introduces a new NMR method to measure droplet size in oil-in-water emulsions. The transverse relaxation rate (1/T2) increases with droplet size, offering a reliable sizing technique.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Accurate droplet size measurement is crucial for characterizing emulsions.
  • Existing methods may have limitations in precision or applicability.
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) offers potential for non-invasive analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel NMR-based method for determining droplet size in oil-in-water emulsions.
  • To investigate the relationship between NMR transverse relaxation rate and droplet size.
  • To confirm the theoretical underpinnings of the proposed NMR technique.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, specifically measuring longitudinal (1/T1) and transverse (1/T2) relaxation rates.

  • Employed Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) at 37°C for in vitro measurements.
  • Conducted proton random walk simulations and applied analytical solutions based on an outer sphere relaxation model.

    • Main Results:

    • Observed a significant increase in the transverse relaxation rate (1/T2) with increasing mean droplet size (0.4-20.9 µm).
    • Found no significant change in the longitudinal relaxation rate (1/T1).
    • Experimental results showed good agreement with theoretical predictions and simulations.

    Conclusions:

    • The NMR transverse relaxation rate is a sensitive indicator of droplet size in oil-in-water emulsions.
    • This novel NMR method provides a robust and accurate approach for emulsion characterization.
    • The findings support the use of NMR for non-invasive droplet sizing in various applications.
