Microemulsions are clear, stable, isotropic mixtures of oil, water and surfactant, frequently in
combination with a cosurfactant. These systems are currently of interest to the …

Microemulsions, as thermodynamically stable mixtures of oil, water, and surfactant, are
known and have been studied for more than 70 years. However, even today there are still …

Purpose. This review highlights the state-of-the-art in pharmaceutical microemulsions with
emphasis on self-emulsifying systems, from both a physical and biopharmaceutical …

The typical phase behavior of microemulsion systems undergoing phase inversion is briefly
reviewed. As a model system H 2 On-octane-C 12 E 5 is studied with various experimental …

The term “microemulsion” was introduced by the English chemist JH Schulman. In 1943 he
described the transition from a stable oil-rich mixture to a stable water-rich mixture and …

From simple micelles in water, nearly spherical aggregates of amphiphilic molecules, to
bicontinuous microemulsions, oil and water microheterogeneous mixtures stabilised by a …

The correspondence between the equilibrium phase behavior of oil-water− surfactant
mixtures and the macroemulsion type and stability is examined. Both the phase behavior …

The binary phase diagram of water–C12E5 has been studied with emphasis on the L3 and
dilute lamellar phases, which were found to swell to approximately 99.5 and 98.8 wt% of …

The progress in understanding microemulsion structure on a molecular level as well as from
extensive experimental studies of phase diagrams is reviewed. In this respect the studies …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil have been recognised as a serious health
and environmental issue due to their carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic properties …
