Abstract

Dynamic behavior of initially sessile droplets of oleic acid with sodium oleate was investigated in an aqueous buffer solution. The interface of droplet highly fluctuated at pH 9.0 and concomitantly grew a multilayered structure inside of the droplet. Volume change of the droplet suggested the existence of three independent mass-transport processes. This phenomenon was observed under specific conditions of pH and oil composition.
