摘要
A new family of organogels is described. They originate from water-in-oil microemulsions, from which the name microemulsion gels or microemulsion-based gels is derived. Two different types of such gels are presented here, referred to as gelatine gels and lecithin gels, respectively. In the case of gelatine gels, the initial ternary system typically consists of isooctane, AOT (bis 2-ethylhexyl sodiumsuccinate) and water; gelation is induced by solubilization of gelatine in the water microphase above a critical concentration. In the case of lecithin gels no polymeric material is needed. Starting from a reverse micellar solution of lecithin (50-200 mM) in an organic solvent, gelation is induced by the addition of a small amount of water. The molar ratio of water to lecithin typically varies between 1 and 12 for the 50 different solvents investigated to date. These gels are isotropic, thermoreversible and optically transparent. For both microemulsion gels the influence of the concentration of the components on gelation is presented in the form of preliminary phase diagrams. The physico-chemical properties of these organogels were characterized using a variety of techniques such as NMR, DSC, dynamic shear viscosity measurements, and light scattering. Based on these measurements, preliminary models for the structure of these novel systems were developed. It is possible to co-solubilize a variety of reactive molecules in these gels. Therefore, it may be possible to use these organogels for a number of chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. © 1990 Steinkopff.
