A novel method for the preparation of silver chloride nanoparticles starting from their solid powder using microemulsions

Effect of microemulsion variables on copper oxide nanoparticle uptake by AOT microemulsions

“…2 shows that, at constant R, the nanoparticle uptake increased linearly as the surfactant concentration increased. A similar trend was reported in the literature for nanoparticle uptake by single microemulsions [22,23]. Fig.…”

“…4a-4c show an increase in the nanoparticle size as the surfactant concentration increased. A similar trend in nanoparticle size with increasing surfactant concentration was reported in the literature [22][23][24]. Increasing the surfactant concentration at fixed R increased the uptake due to the increase in the population of the host reverse micelles in the organic phase.…”

Regulations of silver halide nanostructure and composites on photocatalysis

“…Generally, microemulsions composited with various micelles and reverse micelles are the most common soft templates in nanoparticles synthesis of inorganic crystals, noble metals and metal oxides [116,[178][179][180][181][182][183][184][185]. The professional term of Bmicroemulsion^was proposed by J. H. Schulman, who introduced the Bmicro emulsion^systems describing a stable transition between oil-rich and water-rich mixture [186,187].…”

Advanced functional nanomaterials with microemulsion phase

“…The effect of surfactant counterion and mole ratio of water to surfactant, R, was dependent on their effect on the stability of the reverse micellar structure and the rigidity of the surfactant surface layer. Structure shift towards other Winsor microemulsion equilibrium as a result of high-cosurfactant concentration, ionic strength, or R led to lower uptake [39,40]. Furthermore, low-surfactant layer rigidity at high-cosurfactant concentration or R promoted particle aggregation [33,38,41,42].…”
