Dilational rheology of air/water interfaces covered by nonionic amphiphilic polysaccharides. Correlation with stability of oil-in-water emulsions

- Amphiphilic polysaccharides were obtained by modifying dextran with 1,2-epoxydodecane.
- Dilational rheology of air/water interface was studied according to polymer structure.
- Oil-in-water submicronic emulsions were prepared with various dextran derivatives.
- Optimal dextran modification was similar for emulsifying and interfacial properties.
