What is the Pickering Fleming system?

The Pickering Fleming system, also known as the Pickering emulsion, is a method of stabilizing emulsions using solid particles instead of traditional surfactants. In this system, solid particles adsorb at the oil-water interface, creating a barrier that prevents the two phases from separating. This technique is widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics to enhance stability and improve texture. The Pickering emulsion is valued for its potential to reduce the use of synthetic emulsifiers, making it a more natural option.
