A narrow bicontinuous microemulsion domain in mixed polymeric silicone systems

Abstract

We have prepared a viscous bicotinuous microemulsion consisting of water/ [20 wt% POE-GIS +30 wt% PEPTME+47.5 wt% POE?POP-PDMS+2.5 wt% OA)]/DMPS system. A pseudoternary phase diagram was constructed for the mixture, and the bicontinuous microemulsion phase was characterized by means of rheometry and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM).
