Nonequilibrium water transport in a nonionic microemulsion system.

Polymer-Induced Structural Transitions in Microemulsions

We predict, qualitatively, the structural transitions in microemulsion systems induced by nonionic polymers, by virtue of their ability to associate with the surfactant assemblies. The predictions are made possible by linking (a) theoretical calculations of the domains of existence of oil-in-water (O/W) and water-in-oil (W/O) droplet microemulsions with (b) the experimental observation that on ...

Preparation of Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane (HNIW) Nano Particle by Normal Microemulsion Based Nonionic Surfactant

The behavior of nanoscale energetic materials is quite different from micronsized energetic materials in many ways. Recently, some techniques such as sol-gel method, high speed air impaction and vacuum codeposition have been employed to obtain nanoscale energetic materials. However, only few attentions were paid to nanoscale energetic materials because of the fabrication difficulty. In this pap...

Water Solubilization Using Nonionic Surfactants from Renewable Sources in Microemulsion Systems

In this study the effect of temperature, NaCl and oils (hydrocarbons: C(8)-C(16)) on the formation and solubilization capacity of the systems of oil/monoacylglycerols (MAG):ethoxylated fatty alcohols (CEO(20))/propylene glycol (PG)/water was investigated. The effects of the surfactant mixture on the phase behavior and the concentration of water or oil in the systems were studied at three temper...

A small-angle neutron scattering study of nonionic surfactant molecules at the water–oil interface: Area per molecule, microemulsion domain size, and rigidity

Water/oil microemulsion for the preparation of robust La-hexaaluminates for methane catalytic combustion.

Robust and highly effective Fe-substituted and non-substituted La-Hexaaluminate methane combustion catalysts have been prepared via coprecipitation in "water-pools" of Water/Oil microemulsions with dual nonionic surfactants, followed by ethanol supercritical drying and post-annealing.
