This interactive platform presents a curated database of over 50 scientific articles on nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions. The goal is to provide researchers, students, and industry professionals with a tool to explore the relationships between nanocellulose properties (type, modification, concentration), emulsification conditions, and the resulting emulsion characteristics (droplet size, stability). Use the interactive controls to visualize trends, identify knowledge gaps, and accelerate the development of new applications. This work was presented at Tappi Nano 2025, Girona, Spain. Authors: Ronald Marquez, Roberto J. Aguado, Blaise Tardy, Marc Delgado Aguilar.
1. Nanocellulose-stabilized Pickering emulsions data explorer: A "living" meta-analysis
Explore the relationship between any two variables from the database. Use the dropdown menus to select parameters for the X and Y axes. You can color the data points by a specific category (e.g., nanocellulose type) and filter the data to isolate subsets of interest. Check the "Log" boxes to switch to a logarithmic scale. Click on any point to open the original article in a new tab.
2. Droplet Size Distribution
This box plot shows the distribution of the emulsion droplet size (in micrometers) grouped by different categories. It allows for a visual comparison of how a categorical variable (e.g., emulsification method, oil type) influences the median droplet size and the variability of results reported in the literature.
3. Correlation Matrix
This heatmap visualizes the Pearson correlation coefficient between all numerical variables in the database. Warm colors (red) indicate a strong positive correlation, while cool colors (blue) indicate a strong negative correlation. A value near zero (white) suggests an absence of a linear correlation.
