“…In the study of microemulsions, cryo-electron microscopy can provide high-resolution images of microemulsion droplets, allowing researchers to visually analyze the size, shape, and surface characteristics of droplets, identify interfaces and structural organization between different phases, and study phase transitions and dynamic behaviors of microemulsions under changing conditions [ 101 , 102 ]. Figure 9 shows the microstructure of a microemulsion observed under cryo-electron microscopy.…”

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, optically isotropic, transparent, or semi-transparent mixed solutions composed of two immiscible solvents stabilized by amphiphilic solutes. This comprehensive review explores state-of-the-art techniques for characterizing microemulsions, which are versatile solutions essential across various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, food, and petroleum. This article delves into spectroscopic methods, nuclear magnetic resonance, small-angle scattering, dynamic light scattering, conductometry, zeta potential analysis, cryo-electron microscopy, refractive index measurement, and differential scanning calorimetry, examining each technique’s strengths, limitations, and potential applications. Emphasizing the necessity of a multi-technique approach for a thorough understanding, it underscores the importance of integrating diverse analytical methods to unravel microemulsion structures from molecular to macroscopic scales. This synthesis provides a roadmap for researchers and practitioners, fostering advancements in microemulsion science and its wide-ranging industrial applications.
