“…Nevertheless, it is not known how such templates control the size and shape of the resulting nanoparticles, and therefore, this issue still requires further examination. It is known that type and concentration of surfactant [15][16][17], both oil [13,15], and alcohol types [18][19][20][21][22], droplet core size [11], speed of microemulsion mixing [23] and particle aging [24], influence particle shape, size and/or growth rate. For example, it has been found that the particle size of CdS, ZnS or AgCl, can be controlled by the microemulsion water pool size (in terms of the water solubility parameter W = [water]/[surfactant]) [10,12].…”
