“…2,3 Usually, microemulsions are mixtures of non-polar solvents with polar liquids like water stabilized by a surfactant, 4,5 frequently in combination with a cosurfactant -often a short or medium chain alcohol 6 -forming an interfacial film that separates the two, in principle immiscible, solvents. 7 Though they are macroscopically homogeneous solutions, an ordered structure can be found on the nanoscopic scale such as oil-in-water (o/w) or water-in-oil (w/o) droplets, similar to the structures of micelles, [8][9][10] but with droplet sizes of 100 nm. 3 Besides droplets, lamellar, 11-13 random 14,15 or bicontinuous 3,16,17 microstructures, a network of water tubes in an oil matrix or a network of oil tubes in a water matrix have been identified.…”
