“…Some reports have also considered free energy of microemulsion formation and blending elasticity of the film [13][14][15][16][17][18], which is beyond scope of this article, but interested readers can find related theories in the corresponding articles.…”

Microemulsions are clear, transparent, thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water, stabilised by an interfacial film of surfactant frequently in combination with a co-surfactant. Recently, there has been a considerable interest for the microemulsion formulation, for the delivery of hydrophilic as well as lipophilic drug as drug carriers because of its improved drug solubilisation capacity, long shelf life, easy of preparation and improvement of bioavailability. In this present review, we discuss about the various advantages of microemulsion in pharmaceuticals, along with its composition variables, physicochemical characterisation etc. The potential use of microemulsion for therapeutic application is also discussed.

“…Both systems contain xylene as the dispersed phase 31,32 because of its high affinity for acrylic resins. [33][34][35] Hereinafter, the microemulsion containing xylene, SDS and 1-PeOH will be addressed as ''XYL''. The XYL system is a fourcomponent microemulsion that was developed on the basis of the classic work by Rance and Friberg.…”

The search for innovative, smart and performing cleaning agents is one of the main issues of modern conservation science. Nanosciences do not only provide solutions to this scientific field in terms of new materials but also change radically the approach to problems and challenges. In this feature article we review the most innovative nanostructured systems developed in the last decade for the cleaning of artworks together with some noteworthy case studies. Micelles, microemulsions, thickened complex fluids, and responsive gels that constitute the new "cleaning palette" for modern conservators are here presented and critically analyzed. The development of these smart nanostructured systems requires the comprehension of their behavior and interactions with other materials down to the nanoscale. In the last section of this manuscript we report on the most recent results from a study about the mechanism of polymer removal from porous artifacts using nanofluids, such as micelles or microemulsions. The rules of classical detergency do not fully address the polymer removal mechanism and a schematic model of the process is proposed.

“…Paralleling these efforts, Gillberg [9], Shinoda [10], and Ahmad [11] showed W/O microemulsions to be direcly obtained from the cosurfactant inverse micellar solution [12] by the addition of hydrocarbon. In fact, the solubility region of water, when calculated as a fraction of the non-hydrocarbon constituents only, remained constant at hydrocarbon contents less than fifty percent by weight [13].…”

Abstract:The phase conditions in a system of water, hexadecane, sodium dodecyl sulphate, and di-ethylene glycol dodecyl ether showed the W/O microemulsions to be obtained first after destabilization of a liquid crystalline phase by addition of the hexadecane. The original lamellar liquid crystalline phase was moved towards higher surfactant/cosurfactant ratios and a new phase with inverse amphiphile cylinders in a hexagonal packing appeared.
