Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, transparent, isotropic single-phase mixtures
of two immiscible liquids stabilized by surfactants (and possibly other compounds). The …

The structure, dynamics and transport behaviors of microemulsions are physicochemically
unique and need exploration for basic understanding of their formation, state of aggregation …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the systems coupled to two reservoirs of energy
in such a way that there is a steady energy flow through the system. An example is a resistor …

In the past twenty five years, microemulsions have been the focus of extensive research
worldwide due to their importance in a variety of technological applications. These …

While the important role of electrostatic interactions in aqueous colloidal suspensions is
widely known and reasonably well-understood, their relevance to nonpolar suspensions …

Since conventional oil recovery techniques only produce a limited fraction of the original oil
in place (OOIP), the need for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) methods has become …

We propose a mechanism for mesophase separation in a system of aggregating colloids.
Conditions are outlined under which colloids can form equilibrium clusters with very large …

The experimental evidence (eg distribution, viscosity, conductivity, and molecular weight
measurements) suggesting the presence of aggregates in TBP extracts is assembled and …

The unique three-dimensional pore structure of KCC-1 has attracted significant attention and
has proven to be different compared to other conventional mesoporous silica such as the …
