Microemulsions: Unique Properties, Pharmacological Applications, and Targeted Drug Delivery

Microemulsions, comprising oil, water and a surfactant, in association with some co-surfactant, are thermodynamically stable systems. They have found applications in a large number of chemical and pharmacological processes due to their unique properties such as large interfacial area, low interfacia...
