The preparation of monodisperse colloidal metal particles from microemulsions

Magali Boutonnet, +3 more
- 01 Nov 1982 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the reduction of metal salts which are dissolved in the water pools of microemulsions with hydrogen or hydrazine has been used to produce modispere particles.

Structure, dynamics and transport properties of microemulsions

S. P. Moulik, +1 more
- 16 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural characteristics of micro-emulsions and their dynamic and transport behaviors have been presented in detail and underlying principles of the methodologies used for the above understanding have been concisely documented and discussed.

Interfacial tensions and solubilizing ability of a microemulsion phase that coexists with oil and brine

Chun Huh
- 01 Sep 1979 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a middle-phase microemulsion model is introduced that consists of alternating thin layers of oil and brine containing surfactant molecules oriented at each planar interface according to their amphiphilic character.

Lipid nanocapsules: A new platform for nanomedicine

Ngoc Trinh Huynh, +3 more
- 11 Sep 2009 - 
TL;DR: These new nano-cargos have the ability to encapsulate efficiently lipophilic drugs, offering a pharmaceutical solution for their intravenous administration and should reduce considerably the cost and convenience for treatment.

A Theory of Water and Ionic Solution, with Particular Reference to Hydrogen and Hydroxyl Ions

J. D. Bernal, +1 more
- 01 Aug 1933 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral and x-ray properties of water and ionic solutions have been deduced quantitatively in good agreement with experiment using a model of the water molecule derived from spectral and X-ray data.

Transparent Water-in-Oil Dispersions: the Oleopathic Hydro-Micelle

T P Hoar, +1 more
- 01 Jul 1943 - 
TL;DR: The transparent oil-continuous systems are known as "soluble-oil" and similar concentrates: the essential conditions for their formation are (1) high soap/water ratio, (2) the presence of an alcohol, fatty acid, amine or other non-ionized amphipathic substance in mol-fraction approximately equal to that of the soap as discussed by the authors.

Structural Approach to the Solvent Power of Water for Hydrocarbons; Urea as a Structure Breaker

Henry S. Frank, +1 more
- 15 May 1968 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a skeleton model was proposed for the solubility of urea to water, where water was represented as a two-species mixture of dense and bulky constituents and the dissolved hydrocarbon is represented as dissolving separately in these constituents.

F. E. Bailey, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1959 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the salting-out and viscosity effects of high polymers of ethylene oxide have been investigated from the view of the behavior of large neutral molecules in media of high dielectric constant.

The Correlation between Phase Inversion Temperature In Emulsion and Cloud Point in Solution of Nonionic Emulsifier

Kozo Shinoda, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1964 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a model has been proposed to regard the cloud point in solution of nonionic agent as akin to the phase inversion temperature in emulsion, where the mixing is macroscopic and the agent serves as an oil as well as an emulsifier.
