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 …

Berberine hydrochloride (BBH) has a variety of pharmacological activities such as antitumor,
antimicrobial, anti-inflammation, and reduce irritable bowel syndrome. However, poor …

Microemulsions are important formulations in cosmetics and pharmaceutics and one
peculiarity lies in the so-called “phase inversion” that takes place at a given water-to-oil …

Hypothesis The phase behavior and the properties of water, oil, surfactant, and cosurfactant
mixtures depend on the fine balance of different forces, among them the bending energy of …

This study was designed to develop a microemulsion formulation of norcantharidin for the
control of the diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus), a notorious pest of …

Microemulsions (μEs) are unique systems that offer exciting perspectives in biophysical
research for mimicing biomembranes at the molecular level. In the present study …

The objective of this study was to develop a green microemulsion with potential applications
in the delivery system for oil-soluble solid active ingredients. A microemulsion was prepared …

Plant essential oils (EOs) have strong antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. However, their
water insolubility and volatility limit their practical application. Microemulsions are …
