From Simple Solutions to Strongly Structured Microemulsions
Tseng, Shih-Yu Microemulsions are known for their versatile properties widely utilized in fundamental research and industrial applications. They are thermodynamically stable mixtures structured on a colloidal length scale with an amphiphilic film separating water- and oil-rich domains. However, recent studies claim the existence of "surfactant-free microemulsions, " which exhibit structures on a molecular length scale. By means of systematic phase behavior a...
