  Does ionic charge of polymers have any effect on emulsion stability?

  Posted by Abdullah on November 8, 2021 at 3:07 am

  Ionic charge of surfactants have an effect, means emulsion anionic or cationic surfactants are more stable than non-ionic. Does ionic charge of polymers have any effect on emulsion stability? 

  For example, is anionic polymer more stable than non-ionic in anionic or non-ionic emulsion? Or is emulsion with cationic polymer like guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride more stable than non-ionic polymer?

  @Pharma on what ?????

  For example if i use Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine and Polyglyceryl 6 distearate as emulsifier in a lotion, which polymer would make it more stable?
  1. Guar gum (non-ionic)

  2. Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride (cationic)
