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.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Physical chemistryBiotechnologyAnalytical chemistryPhysical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C21001Microengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12040Analytical Chemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C11006Physical chemistry.Biotechnology.Analytical chemistry.Physical Chemistry.Microengineering.Analytical Chemistry.541.345Laupheimer Michaelaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058970MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298462303321Gelled Bicontinuous Microemulsions2503365UNINA
