The properties of emulsions are enhanced as the interfacial film approaches equilibrium when formed by droplets of nanometric sizes. These nanoemulsions can be considered a good solvent for oil because they are capable of regenerating microporous materials absorbents of organic matter. Josane A. Costa, Yure G. C. Queirós, and Claudia R. E. Mansur perform a systematic study of crude oil desorption kinetics of methyl methacrylate‐divinylbenzene by applying an oil‐in‐water nanoemulsion, to determine the parameters necessary for cleaning saturated resin in an oily wastewater system. The cover shows the oil added to the nanoemulsion migrates into its droplets and is uniformly distributed. (DOI: 10.1002/app.42050 )
