We investigated the structure and stability of dodecane-in-water emulsions stabilised by partially hydrophobised silica particles after dilution of the emulsions in solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate and sodium chloride. The emulsions were stable to coalescence on dilution in salt solutions, but did cream over time. The rate and extent of creaming gradually decreased as the salt concentration in the diluted emulsion increased. Dilution in low concentrations of the anionic surfactant did not affect the emulsion stability to coalescence or alter the creaming behaviour of the emulsion. At surfactant concentrations above the critical micelle concentration, however, the rate and extent of creaming and flocculation of the drops were enhanced.
