Macro- and Microemulsions

response articles: micro and macro analysis

the present study reports an analysis of response articles in four different disciplines in the social sciences, i.e., linguistics, english for specific purposes (esp), accounting, and psychology. the study has three phases: micro analysis, macro analysis, and e-mail interview. the results of the micro analysis indicate that a three-level linguistic pattern is used by the writers in order to cr...

Spinodal decomposition in microemulsions

Uses and applications of microemulsions

Since the discovery of microemulsions, they have attained increasing significance both in basic research and in industry. Due to their unique properties, namely, ultralow interfacial tension, large interfacial area, thermodynamic stability and the ability to solubilize otherwise immiscible liquids, uses and applications of microemulsions have been numerous. The objective of this review is to pr...

Microemulsions: Thermodynamic and Dynamic Properties

Mixing two immiscible liquids (such as oil and water) using emulsifier and energy inputs has been the matter of study for decades. In early 1890’s extensive work have been carried out on macroemulsions (i.e. oil dispersed in water in the form of fine droplets or vice versa) (Becher, 1977) and several theories and methods of their formation have been vastly explored (Lissant 1976 and 1984). Howe...

Microemulsions – A Brief Introduction

Nevertheless, the existence and application history of the microemulsions goes back to the very older times, but the oldest available reports in this field have been published by Schulman (Schulman & Hoar, 1943) and Winsor (Winsor, 1954). Their works are the starting point of efforts for the systematic understanding of the microemulsions. Meanwhile, the widespread generalization and application...
