Microemulsions in hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents
Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel hydrogen bonded liquids which support amphiphile self-assembly. DES can be prepared from a wide range of components, which are non-toxic, cheap and from sustainable sources and are of interest for replacing standard organic solvents in a range of applications, including templating and encapsulation/release of active species. Here we wish to investigate their effect on the properties of water-in-oil microemulsions, where the DES acts as the oil phase. The emulsions are stabilised with double chain cationic or anionic surfactants and we aim to determine how the solvent components interact with the stabilising surfactant layer between the oil and water phases, and thus affect the water phase connectivity within the emulsion.
