Microemulsion Templating

  • Chapter
Nanostructured Soft Matter

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Surfactant molecules have for a long time been employed in stabilising finely dispersed matter since they have, due to their amphiphilic character, the tendency to adsorb at hydrophilic/hydrophobic interfaces such as water/air, water/oil or water/(hydrophobic) solid and oil/(hydrophilic) solid. In many inorganic or organic (colloidal) particle preparation routes, different types of surfactants have been added to stabilise the formed particles sterically or electrostatically against (irreversible) aggregation (and, if applicable, coalescence) processes. Apart from their stabilising properties, surfactants have progressively gained more attention because they may self-assemble under certain conditions in binary and ternary systems of surfactant(s), water and/or oil into thermodynamically stable nano-heterogeneous systems, with a variety of different morphologies. These self-assembled systems can in principle be used as a kind of micro- or better nanoreactor to separate and control nucleation and growth processes and as a template to direct growth and to control the morphology of the forming solid phase. Over the last two to three decades our knowledge of self-assembled surfactant systems has increased dramatically and a number of these systems have been thoroughly investigated for advanced materials synthesis [1-5].
