Abstract:Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents
(HDESs) are emerging
as versatile,
relatively benign, and inexpensive alternatives to conventional organic
solvents in a diverse set of applications. In this context, the formation
of microemulsions with HDES replacing the oil phase has become an
area of active exploration. Because of recent reports on the undesirable
toxicity of many common surfactants, efforts are under way to investigate
the formation of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) using HDES
as an oil phase. We… Show more
