Emulsion
A substantially permanent heterogeneous mixture of two or more liquids which do not dissolve in each other but are held in suspension or dispersion (one in the other) by mechanical agitation or, more frequently, by adding small amounts of substances known as emulsifiers. Emulsions may be mechanical, chemical or a combination of the two (commonly oil and water).

Emulsion
a mixture in which one liquid, termed the dispersed phase, is uniformly distributed (usually as minute globules) in another liquid, called the continuous phase or dispersion medium. In an oil-water emulsion, the oil is the dispersed phase and the water the dispersion medium; in a water-oil emulsion, the reverse holds. A typical product of oil wells, water-oil emulsion also is used as a drilling fluid.

Emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible (unblendable) substances. One substance (the dispersed phase) is dispersed in the other (the continuous phase). Examples of emulsions include butter and margarine, espresso, mayonnaise, the photo-sensitive side of photographic film, and cutting fluid for metal working. In butter and margarine, a continuous liquid phase surrounds droplets of water (water-in-oil emulsion). Emulsification is the process by which emulsions are prepared.
