BACKGROUND
One of the most relevant problems in emulsion technology concerns the control of emulsion stability. For example, high stability and methods of long-term stability prognosis are necessary for emulsions in foods, cosmetics, pharmacy etc. Separation of the two phases and then, destabilisation, is instead required in waste water processing and oil recovery. In both cases, the target can be achieved by introducing specific additives (like surfactants) which adsorb and modify the properties of droplet interfaces. Thus, it is clear that the adsorption of surface active molecules plays a fundamental role in emulsion science.
However, at present, the links between the physical chemistry of the droplets interface to the collective properties of an emulsion are only qualitative, so that the criteria used in industry are mainly empirical. The FASES project has aimed at reducing this gap, which is today an important limitation of the emulsion science and for the development of applications.

FASES programme is composed of two projects: FASES EC and FASTER.

GOAL
Study the links between the physical chemistry of the droplets interface, the liquid films and the collective properties of an emulsion.

Specific goals of FASES and FASTER:
- Characterisation of a liquid/liquid interface Surfactant adsorption dynamics.
- Characterisation of Drop/drop interactions and the behaviour of the liquid film between the drops.
- Droplet dynamics and evolution of the droplet size distribution during emulsion destabilisation.
- Systematic studies on model emulsions will allow developing methods for the evaluation and prediction of systems stability.

Justification for the need of space experiment:
The additives (particles and surfactant) added in emulsion can hardly be studied on ground because the gravity modifies the physical properties at two scales:

At the microscopic scale, the gravity provokes liquid fluxes and modifies interface thinness. The surfactant transfer effects are then masked. In microgravity, interfaces elasticity is only driven by surfactant concentration; adsorption and diffusion of surfactant could be studied with a great accuracy.
At the macroscopic scale, the drainage (creaming) is an effect faster and/or stronger than the coalescence (film rupture) and aggregation (clustering of droplets). Microgravity conditions avoid the drainage; the surfactant dynamic and particles effects drive then alone the structural evolution.

Previous flight experiments (precursors):
- FAST Successfully flown on STS-95 Shuttle mission (1998)
- FAST II Successfully flown on STS-107 Shuttle mission (2003)

OBJECTIVES of FASES and FASTER
This experiment together with another 2 performed in the FAST (Facility for Adsorption and Surface Tension) facility will address single and multiple interfaces, as affected by various surfactants. An important part of the programme aims at establishing links between emulsion stability and physicochemical characteristics of droplet interfaces. Further experiments are planned to investigate droplet dispersion in emulsions and phase inversion. On the basis of these studies, the team will generate a model of emulsion dynamics to be transferred to industrial applications.

Further results will be provided by the FASTER project: characterisation of a liquid/liquid interface, surfactant adsorption dynamics, adsorption dynamics, surfactant transfer and interfacial rheology and role of surface active additives in stabilisation.

FASTER - Facility for Adsorption and Surface TEnsion Research 
ISS Increment 39-40 - 2014

The experiment samples are stored in a cell with a liquid composition.
FASES EC represents 44 cells (3 types: ITEM-S, ITEM-F and EMPI)

The 44 cells are positioned in a carrousel. The position of a cell is not necessarily related to the experimental sequence. However the final arrangement will be defined with respect to the ongoing tests about life time adsorption on the cell wall and leakage.

A run is a full experiment for 1 temperature for ITEM and at 1 time for EMPI.

Scan
The ITEM cells are scanned by a microscope in two ways per scan: one way and return. The scan generates images which allow rebuilding the structure of the emulsion. The amount of data depends of the scanning step (distance between two images) and of the scanning velocity (number of images to be stored per second).
One way scan
In a one-way scan, the microscope advances across the viewing range in only one direction. The amount of data generated is half that of a nominal two-way scan.

ITEM-S
22 samples
#1 to #8 are processed 3 times (3 runs per sample) at 3 different temperatures
#9 to #22 are processed 1 time

ITEM-F
6 samples experiments are processed 4 times

EMPI experiments
16 samples, processed 1 time (1 run per sample)

The cells more sensitive to aging will be used first. The cells arrangement in the carrousel will be defined with respect to the on-going tests about life time and leakage.

Comment on the protocol of the ITEM sample: The images of the scanning are taken with the camera of FSL and the microscope (lenses system) is controlled by the software of ECCU (experiment container control unit) of the FASES EC. There are two options either the "synchronised mode" or the "free mode".

In the "synchronised mode", the software of the ECCU can synchronise the camera and the microscope only for repeatable sequences of up to 40 images with a delay of some seconds.

In the "free mode", the microscope and the FSL camera are not synchronised. It is possible to start the microscope (giving the scanning steps and the speed) and, in parallel, start the FSL camera (giving the frequency), but with a delay with a predictability. The Science team prefers the approach without synch, called "free mode", because there is no limitation of number of images.

Parameters measured:
22 ITEM-S samples:
Scan (series of images at different scanning depth) versus time (1Smin<time<6oomin) at up to three temperatures (15, 25, 35)

6 ITEM-F samples: Images of the emulsion at different temperature (-50C <temperature<+40C)

16 EMPI samples: Curve of Heat flux (mW) versus temperature (-soC<temperature<+1SC), for seven different aging times (o<aging time<1440 min).
Note: EMPI samples will be thermally controlled at 40C

The cells have to be filled maximum 1 month (+ /-1 week) before the launch date. The cells will be ordered in the carrousel with respect to the on-going tests about life time and leakage.
 
The instrument shall be operated 24 hours a day during the first two weeks of operation. Tests performed end of 2009 showed that problems can occur 5 to 6 weeks after the filling. There are problems of bubbles appearing and drops sticking to the windows, it appends with time, and after that the sample is lost. There is no exact quantification of the dynamics of these processes. One can maximise the results by performing as many runs as possible at the beginning of operation. Thus, a maximum number of experiments shall be performed during the first weeks of operation.

The 44 samples will be processed in a given order depending on the samples life time. So far, the samples composed of water and hexane will have the most limited life time and will be processed first.

ITEM-S  EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
Samples 1 to 8 will be processed 3 times in single experiments at different temperatures, specified by the index "k". The processing sequence has to be optimised in order to ensure the maximum time between single experiments on the same sample. Samples 9 to 22 will instead be processed only once.
The single F ASES ITEM-S experiments follow three main steps A, B and C.

A - Emulsion preparation and optical settings (phase 1)
Phase 1 consists of a basic preparation operations mainly devoted to temperature control, to initialise the position of the focal plane to produce the emulsion (stirring) and to adjust optics. The reference time is given when opening the record.
B - Sample scanning (phase 2)
Sample scanning is split in three nested loops: B.1, B.2 and B.3.
B.1. The inner loop (loop over index m) corresponds to scanning and waiting time. For a given sample, each loop over m has duration Δtfast. It consists in the following operations:
a) three back and forth scanning shots with different scan steps (plane_dist1_m to plane_dist3_m), scan rates (scan_rate1_m to scan_rate3_m), travelling lengths (trav _lem_m to trav_len3_m) and initial plane location (init_plane1 to init_plane3).
b) Once these three scanning are performed, a pause of duration wait_time_scan_short is introduced.
c) After the above standing period three new scanning shots are performed. This procedure is up to time time_cycle_long is reached (reference time being the beginning of the first shot).
B.2. The second level loop (loop over index n) is aimed to characterize long term ageing properties of the emulsions. After loop B1 is realized, a pause of duration wait_time_cycle_long is used to let the emulsion evolve. This procedure is iterated up to time time_cycle_long is reached. For a given sample, each loop of index n has constant duration Δtlong. This loop actually enables changes in the scanning rates and the modification of the value of wait_time_cycle_long. This allows for a larger flexibility for image acquisition and storing. It will also make possible an important reduction of memory capacities (if necessary) by increasing the values of wait_time_cycle_long. The value of wait_time_cycle_long is currently set to 0 for all experiments.
B.3. The external loop runs over k=1 to 3. This loop actually enables changes in the temperatures of the samples. C - Sample removing
The last operation consists in heating the sample to its storage temperature and removing it back to the storage rail.

ITEM-F EXPERIMENT PROCEDURE
Samples 1 to 6 will be processed several times in single experiments with different cooling rates specified by the index "k". The processing sequence has to be optimised in order to ensure good thermal control and image quality.
The FASES ITEM-F experiments follow three main steps A, B and C.

A - Emulsion preparation and optical settings (phase 1)
Same procedure than for ITEM-S samples.
B - Sample cooling and scanning (phase 2)
Sample scanning is split in two nested loops: B.1 and B.2.
B.1. The inner loop (loop over index n) corresponds to sample cooling and scanning.
B.2. External loop (loop over index k) is aimed to change cooling conditions.
C - Sample removing
The last operation consists in heating the sample to its storage temperature and removing it back to the storage rail.

FASTER EXPERIMENT PROTOCOL
The FASTER container is composed of 2 cells. Each cell is divided in 2 chambers with 2 syringes of surfactant. One chamber is called matrix fluid and the other is called disperse fluid (which is the liquid of the drop). Experiments are performed at different temperatures and at different surfactant concentrations.

The entire experimental timeline for one EC is composed by all the experiment runs performed at all the 3 or 4 temperature set points. Once the runs have been performed at different temperatures, the composition is changed by injection of surfactant. All injections are irreversible; once the concentration increases there is no way to decrease it.

There are 23 samples compositions:

- 11 surfactant solutions concentrations are foreseen in the cell #1
- 12 surfactant solutions concentrations are foreseen in the cell #2

Eventually two optical magnification ratios are available.

Step 1: Thermoregulation: For each new temperature, the liquid temperature set point for the thermal control

Step 2.1: Creation of the drop: the drop is created by the predefined sequence.

run procedure:

- Nominal position: At the end of the run, the meniscus gets back to a nominal position (in the capillary) controlled by the compensation piston. The Nominal Meniscus Position (also called NMP) is the position where to start and end a run with in a particular fluid interface position.

- Predefined sequences: Always starts from a nominal meniscus position. Sequences are performed till the end of the run.

Step 2.2: Magnification change:

During the run, the Magnification Change is used to change the FASTER optical system between two possible magnification ratios.

Step 3: Downlink / update

- Illumination loop: The Illumination loop is used to adjust the image brightness to optimise the acquired image quality.
- Downlink Images and Raw signal
- Updated run definition with new sequences

Step 4: Surfactant injection

For each new concentration. A predefined amount of surfactant solution is injected to change the surfactant concentration in the matrix chamber of the cell. The surfactant injection is irreversible.

Planned analyses for FASTER

The science team will study the surface Rheological characteristics of surfactant solutions form the amplitude-and phase-frequency characteristics: complex elasticity (elastic and viscosity), adsorption layer characteristics and shapes of the drop.
