Abstract

Microemulsions may have very different microstructures: discrete water or oil droplets and bicontinuous — depending, inter alia, on the surfactant polarity, salinity, temperature, and co-surfactant. A review is given on structure determination of microemulsions of different systems and the conditions for occurrence of different structures. Polymer addition may dramatically influence microemulsion stability and structure and examples are given for different types of polymers and discussed on the basis of mixed solutions of polymers and surfactants in general.
