Gelled polymerizable microemulsions. 2. Microstructure
Using bicontinuous microemulsions as templates opens a new field for the design of novel structures and thus novel materials, but has significant challenges due to the very small composition and temperature windows in which microemulsions are bicontinuous. In previous work we had shown that we can take a ternary base system (water-n-dodecane-C13/15E5), add monomer and cross-linker (N-isopropylacry
