11. Classification
11.1. Non-ionic
11.1.1. no ionization in water
11.1.2. tend to have large, bulky head groups that point away from the oil droplet. These polar head groups clash and tangle with head groups on other water droplets, sterically hindering the droplets from coming together.
11.2. Ionic
11.2.1. When charged emulsifiers coat droplets in an o/w emulsion, the positive or negative charges on the outside of the oil droplets electrostatically repel each other, helping to keep the droplets separated
