Using microemulsions: formulation based on knowledge of their mesostructure

M Gradzielski, M Duvail, PM de Molina… - Chemical …, 2021 - ACS Publications
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 …

Lipid vesicles and other colloids as drug carriers on the skin

G Cevc - Advanced drug delivery reviews, 2004 - Elsevier
Colloids from an aqueous suspension can cross the skin barrier only through hydrophilic
pathways. Various colloids have a different ability to do this by penetrating narrow pores of …

Self-assembly, phase behaviour and structural behaviour as observed by scattering for classical and non-classical microemulsions

S Prévost, M Gradzielski, T Zemb - Advances in colloid and interface …, 2017 - Elsevier
In this review, we discuss the conditions for forming microemulsions, systems which are
thermodynamically stable mixtures of oil and water made stable by the presence of an …

[HTML][HTML] Shear-induced sponge-to-lamellar transition in bicontinuous microemulsions evidenced by microfluidic-SANS

J Fischer, L Porcar, JT Cabral, T Sottmann - Journal of Colloid and Interface …, 2023 - Elsevier
Hypothesis Shear flow applied to bicontinuous microemulsions is expected to induce a
transition to lamellae via the suppression of surfactant monolayer fluctuations. Compared to …

Structure of microemulsions in the continuous phase channel

RF Schmidt, S Prévost, M Gradzielski… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We have studied the microemulsion and lamellar phases of two of the most commonly
described systems based on nonionic C12E5 and ionic AOT surfactants. We show that …

Triangulated-surface models of fluctuating membranes

G Gompper, DM Kroll - Statistical mechanics of membranes and …, 2004 - World Scientific
The thermal behavior of membranes—surfaces of nearly vanishing tension—depends
strongly on their internal state, which can be either polymerized, fluid, crystalline, or hexatic …

[HTML][HTML] Behavior of giant vesicles with anchored DNA molecules

V Nikolov, R Lipowsky, R Dimova - Biophysical journal, 2007 - cell.com
We study changes in curvature and elastic properties of lipid membranes induced by
anchoring of long hydrophilic polymers at low polymer surface concentrations …

Origin of the hierarchical structure of dendritic fibrous nanosilica: a small-angle x-ray scattering perspective

J Bahadur, A Maity, D Sen, A Das, V Polshettiwar - Langmuir, 2021 - ACS Publications
The discovery of dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) has attracted great attention to the field
of catalysis, CO2 capture, drug delivery due to its distinct morphology, and pore size …

Propane-Induced Inversion of the Pressure Dependence of Highly Efficient Microemulsions: Phase Behavior and Its Prediction via HLD

M Krappel, J Hippele, C Bittner… - Industrial & Engineering …, 2024 - ACS Publications
The influence of pressure on microemulsion properties is generally weak given the
components' low compressibility. However, pressure can become decisive if short-chain …

Effect of commonly used EOR polymers on low concentration surfactant phase behaviors

G Zhang, J Yu - Fuel, 2021 - Elsevier
High molecular weight polymers are required for the purpose of mobility and conformance
control during surfactant chemical flooding. However, they are usually not incorporated in …
