We measured forces between tiny emulsion droplets by using the magnetic chaining technique. Force versus distance profiles were obtained for emulsions stabilized by Tween 20, Tween 20/BSA (bovine serum albumin) mixtures, and beta-casein. For emulsions stabilized with Tween 20 alone, we observed classical DLVO behavior. At very large Tween 20 concentration, the force profile is clearly deviating from the double-layer repulsion. An interpretation of the data is proposed combining classical DLVO with steric-like additional effective repulsion due to the micellar condensation on the droplet surface. The systems that contain both Tween 20 and BSA qualitatively show the same kind of behavior: the purely electrostatic repulsion is progressively transformed into a steric one in the presence of BSA. The emulsions stabilized by beta-casein obey a different type of behavior: in that case the depletion attraction is found to be of great importance. The data are interpreted assuming additivity of standard DLVO forces and depletion attraction. The threshold flocculation force, as a function of the ionic strength, was measured for these systems.
