title: Continuous shear rheometry of o/w emulsions; control of evaporation in cone/plate geometry.
abstract: Volatile solvents may evaporate during cone/plate viscometry so that false rheograms develop. This surface evaporation was prevented in a cod-liver oil-in-water emulsion stabilized with zanthoxylum gum by layering a film of cod-liver oil on the exposed surface of the emulsion test sample. The oil layer effectively prevented evaporation and did not alter significantly the rheological behaviour of the test material.
