approach and reverse-microemulsion technique. In order to explore the availability of
various silica encapsulations, a partial phase diagram for this ternary system consisting of
hexane/cyclohexane (1: 29 wt), surfactant (polyoxyethylene (5) nonylphenyl ether, ie, Igepal
CO-520), and aqueous solution containing ammonium hydroxide was also established. It is
realized that the shell-thickness can be tuned by several parameters such as the …
