Rheological Properties and Microstructures of Thermo-Sensitive Microemulsion-Based Gels

Abstract:

Thermo-sensitive microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) were prepared by the addition of Pluronic P123 (PEO₂₀PPO₇₀PEO₂₀) into O/W microemulsion composed of isopropyl myristate (IPM)/Span20/Tween20/H₂O. The results of rheological measurements indicate that the viscoelastic properties of the systems increase and the gelation temperatures decrease with increasing P123 concentration. Fluorescence spectroscopy was used to study the micropolarity of the hydrogel (P123/H₂O), microemulsion and MBGs systems. The results show that the microstructures of microemulsion droplets are maintained in MBGs.
