Microemulsions, as thermodynamically stable mixtures of oil, water, and surfactant, are
known and have been studied for more than 70 years. However, even today there are still …

This review is addressed to the phase inversion process, which is not only a common, low-
energy route to make stable emulsions for a variety of industrial products spanning from food …

Understanding the structural and thermodynamic properties of surfaces, interfaces, and
membranes is important for both fundamental and practical reasons. Important applications …

The third edition of this besteller covers the latest advancements in this rapidly growing field.
Focusing on analyses and critical evaluation of the subject, this new edition reviews the …

Over the last decades, the study of surfactants (detergents, for example) has been
profoundly changed by ideas and techniques from physics, chemistry, and materials …

The term “microemulsion” was introduced by the English chemist JH Schulman. In 1943 he
described the transition from a stable oil-rich mixture to a stable water-rich mixture and …

Since the publication of the first edition of Interfacial Phenomena, the interest in interfaces
and surfactants has multiplied, along with their applications. Experimental and theoretical …

Binary fluid mixtures are examples of complex fluids whose microstructure and flow are
strongly coupled. For pairs of simple fluids, the microstructure consists of droplets or …

We present an overview of the modern study of complex fluids which, because of the
overwhelming breadth and richness of this field, unavoidably neglects many interesting …

Cells contain membraneless compartments that assemble due to liquid–liquid phase
separation, including biomolecular condensates with complex morphologies. For instance …
