This book was released on 1993 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors have been constructing a special purpose small angle neutron scattering spectrometer (SAND) in collaboration with IPNS of Argonne National Laboratory and Texaco Research Laboratories in Beacon, New York. The spectrometer, having a moderate neutron flux, will be uniquely suited for detailed studies of complex fluids in their various phases. This spectrometer will be fully available to general users of the small angle scattering community after a year of testing and upon installation of the auxiliary equipment. The general research objective of the MIT group is to continue studies of the microstructural relationship to phase-behavior in three-component microemulsion systems. Specifically, they shall study the (1) variation of bulk structures when a microemulsion undergoes a non-wetting to wetting transition, (2) correlating interfacial reflectivity measurements of these wetting transitions to the SANS results, (3) use the contrast variation technique they recently developed for measuring the mean and Gaussian curvatures of the surfactant sheet to study the structural inversion of water-in-oil to oil-in-water microemulsions and the transition of disordered bicontinuous microemulsion to ordered lamellar phases, (4) investigation of the effects of spatial confinement on the phase behavior and structure of bicontinuous microemulsions, and finally (5) they shall continue the study of the recently discovered non-exponential relaxation of droplet density fluctuations near the critical and percolation points in water-in-oil droplet microemulsions.
Book Synopsis Gelled Bicontinuous Microemulsions by : Michaela Laupheimer
Download or read book Gelled Bicontinuous Microemulsions written by Michaela Laupheimer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microemulsions and gels are well-known systems, which play a major role in colloidal and interfacial science. In contrast, the concept of gel microemulsions is still quite new. Gelled microemulsions are highly promising for microemulsion applications in which low viscosity is undesirable, such as administering a drug-delivering microemulsion to a certain area of the skin. It is essential to understand the properties of and structures formed in a system combining microemulsion components and a gelator. This PhD thesis by Michaela Laupheimer provides an in-depth discussion of the phase behavior and sol-gel transition of a microemulsion gelled by a low molecular weight gelator as well as the rheological behavior of a gelled bicontinuous microemulsion. Moreover, the microstructure of the gelled bicontinuous system is fully clarified using techniques like self-diffusion NMR and small angle neutron scattering (SANS). By comparing gelled bicontinuous microemulsions with corresponding non-gelled microemulsions and binary gels, it is demonstrated that bicontinuous microemulsion domains coexist with a gelator network and that the coexisting structures possess no fundamental mutual influence. Hence, gelled bicontinuous microemulsions have been identified as a new type of orthogonal self-assembled system.

This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that the creation of novel foods or improvement of existing foods largely depends on a strong understanding and awareness of the intricate interrelationship between the nanoscopic, microscopic and macroscopic features of foods and their bulk physiochemical properties, sensory attributes and healthfulness. With its distinguished editor and array of international contributors, Understanding and controlling the microstructure of complex foods provides a review of current understanding of significant aspects of food structure and methods for its control.Part one focuses on the fundamental structural elements present in foods such as polysaccharides, proteins and fats and the forces which hold them together. Part two discusses novel analytical techniques which can provide information on the morphology and behaviour of food materials. Chapters cover atomic force microscopy, image analysis, scattering techniques and computer analysis. Chapters in part three examine how the principles of structural design can be employed to improve performance and functionality of foods. The final part of the book discusses how knowledge of structural and physicochemical properties can be implemented to improve properties of specific foods such as ice-cream, spreads, protein-based drinks, chocolate and bread dough.Understanding and controlling the microstructure of complex foods is an essential reference for industry professionals and scientists concerned with improving the performance of existing food products and inventing novel food products.

Book Synopsis Applications of Sugar-based Microemulsion Glasses by : Brian H. Shoop
Download or read book Applications of Sugar-based Microemulsion Glasses written by Brian H. Shoop and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A microemulsion is an optically clear, thermodynamically stable mixture of a hydrophilic species (typically water) and a hydrophobic species (oil) stabilized by a flexible surfactant film. They exist primarily as dispersions of swollen micelles of oil in water (O/W), swollen reverse micelles of water in oil (W/O), or as bicontinuous structures. While there are many applications for these formulations, one that has received much attention is the use of microemulsions as structure-directing agents for polymerization reactions. Of particular interest is arresting the structure of a bicontinuous microemulsion in polymer form for use in synthesizing ultra filtration membranes. However, previous attempts to do so using aqueous microemulsions have fallen short due to surfactant film rearrangement, non-uniform reaction initiation, and breakthrough of the template. Replacing water in typical microemulsion formulations with sugar has been shown to mimic traditional microstructure of aqueous microemulsions but in a solid, glassy form. These microemulsion glasses have been used as templates for free-radical polymerizations with 1-to-1 copies of the microemulsion structure formed as a polymer membrane. However, in the interest of broadening their potential applications, two different research projects were proposed. First, the glass transition temperature of the initial system of sucrose, trehalose, sucrose ester surfactant, and limonene oil was determined to be 570C. While this is acceptable for low-temperature applications, higher temperature applications run the risk of crystallization and phase separation of the template. In order to combat this, it was proposed that sodium citrate, having been shown to increase the glass transition temperature of sucrose significantly, replace trehalose in the formulation in hopes that the glass transition temperature increases for the system. Phase behavior studies confirmed that bicontinuous microemulsion glasses can be formed with the citrate replacement. However, temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry experiments showed that the replacement of trehalose with citrate, and the concentration of citrate within, did not have a significant effect on the glass transition temperature of the sample. Second, a step-growth polymerization scheme was proposed, whereby a diisocyanate reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the sugar and surfactant head groups, cross-linking the surfactant film and arresting the structure. Limonene was replaced by allowing 1,6-diisocyanatohexane to diffuse into the extruded glass film, forming a solid, clear, polymer membrane. Ultra small-angle x-ray scattering experiments confirmed that bicontinuous structure is preserved during polymerization and washing away of the template. However, attempts to characterize the hydraulic permeability and volume porosity of the membrane were fruitless. It is hypothesized that a surface polymerization is taking place, by virtue of the highly hydrophobic surface of the pressing material causing surfactant reorganization as well as a finite amount of sugar solubilizing into the isocyanate at the surface and reacting immediately. This surface reaction effectively destroys all porous structure.
Book Synopsis Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics by : Friberg
Download or read book Microemulsions: Structure and Dynamics written by Friberg and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the microemulsion phenomenon in a systematic manner and not only provides an up-to-date introduction to this topic but aslo serves as the basis for further development in the area.The progress of microemulsion research has taken place in well-defined stages. The introduction period was founded on Schulmanâs original discovery and was, as expected, focused on the interfacial free energy. Because Schulman obtained his microemulsions from a macroemulsion by the addition of a cosurfactant.The present stage is characterized by an extensively enhanced knowledge about structure and dynamics in these systems. This has led to the realization that the structure of the microemulsions is related both to solutions with critical behaviour and long range order structures, the lyotropic liquid crystals. These two aspects have been elucidated independently by the French groups and by the Lund Spectroscopy group.
