The abundance of these resources gives Canada a robust comparative advantage in the industries that extract and process them,â said Michael Burt, Director, Industrial Economic Trends, and co-author of Adding Value to Trade: Moving Beyond Being Hewers of Wood.
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.
From a purely thermodynamic point of view, an emulsion is an unstable system because there is a natural tendency for a liquid/liquid system to separate and reduce its interfacial area and, hence, its interfacial energy. However, most emulsions demonstrate kinetic stability (i.e., they are stable over a period of time).
