the effect of the wettability of an injection nozzle on the size of oil droplets in water has been studied. dodecane as an oil was dispersed into a continuous water phase through various polymers attached to the top of each single nozzle. the polymer filters used were polyethylene (pe), poly(vinyl chloride) (pvc), poly(vinyl alcohol) (pva), cellophane (cp), and cotton (ct). the hydrophilic cotton filter is found to be more effective as the injection nozzle than any other hydrophobic polymer filter tested to disperse smaller oil droplets of dodecane into the continuous water phase. the droplet size is reduced with an increase in the hydrogen-bonding force of the polymer-filter surfaces. this may be attributed to the strong adhesion tension between the water molecules and hydrophilic groups of the polymer surface.
