L'émulsion est un liquide formé d'au moins deux substances non miscibles, dont l'une est dispersée dans l'autre à l'état de gouttes très fines. Par exemple, lorsqu'on agite fortement de l'eau avec une faible quantité relative d'huile, cette dernière se disperse dans l'eau et donne une émulsion «huile dans eau», dont l'eau est la phase continue. Inversement, on peut obtenir une émulsion «eau dans huile», en ajoutant un peu d'eau dans beaucoup d'huile; cette dernière est alors la phase continue. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9mulsion%20inverse
