Abstract
⺠We examine the coalescence of oil droplets in a plasticized starch in shear flow. ⺠A method based on double staining and confocal microscopy was introduced. ⺠Coalescence was observed at all process conditions studied. ⺠Intensity of coalescence (IC) was quantified by using critical capillary number. ⺠IC increased with shear rate and oil content, and decreased with blend viscosity.
