Text of Abstract
Emulsions are ubiquitous in consumer products, industry, and science, found wherever two immiscible fluids must be mixed. While exceedingly common, emulsions are almost universally limited by the spherical shape of the underlying droplets, which minimizes contact area between phases. Considering that the efficacy of most emulsions is contingent on fast mass transfer between phases, shape-limited surface area significantly degrades total mass flux between phases.
