SURFACTANTS FOR MICROEMULSIONS (ME)
Application
Microemulsion is a transparent thermodynamically stable mixture consisting of at least three components.
• A hydrophobic component that can be a liquid, fusible, or solid dissolved in an organic solvent.
• The system of surfactants
• Water
To increase the solubility of the surfactant, another surfactant is often added to the mixture, mainly alcohols, amines or essential alcohols.
