Microscopic or submicroscopic emulsions are dispersions of droplets of one liquid into another that can be formed via agitation or even without it. Spontaneous emulsification, in which no agitation is required, was first discovered by Gad, followed by a series of papers by Quincke, Brucke and others, which were documented by McBain and Woo 1 . While our understanding of agitation induced emulsification has advanced considerably since the original publication of Hinze , the processes that lead to emulsification without agitation continue to inspire new imaginations even after many decades of research in this field. The fundamental question that the researchers had to grapple with is how is it possible to create new surface areas associated with emulsification, which, of course, would be trivial to understand had the oil-water interfacial tension been negative . While this scenario cannot be ruled out in a few specific cases, spontaneous emulsification, nonetheless, occurs predominantly with positive interfacial tension .
