The aim of the present study was to investigate the formation of cadmium sulfide nanoparticies in a water-in-oil microemulsion in comparison to a bicontinuous, sponge-like microemulsion template phase. Therefore, the... 

CdS Nanoparticles in the Microemulsion Template Phase. It has already been desaibed in detail that CdS nanoparticles show a UV-Vis spectrum, which strongly depends on the size of the particles [42-44]. Figure 2 shows the UV-Vis spectra of CdS particles in the microemulsions at point A and B in presence of 10 wt. % PEG I at certain times after mixing the both precursor microemulsions. Independent of the template phase used, one can observe a typical absorption shoulder of the CdS particles between 420 and 450 nm already after a reaction time of 1 min. Hence, the particle formation process in the microemulsion template phase is a very fast process, which is nearly finished after mixing of the two adequate microemulsions. 

Surfactant is another key component in controlling the emulsion polymerization process, which plays an important role in formulating polymers that preserve microstructures of tunable topology and the length scale of the parent microemulsion template. [21]...

Another focus was put on the melamine-formaldehyde system. Through a microemulsion templating sol-gel route [237], thermal conductivities of the samples slightly below 0.025 Wm K have been obtained [238]. Most recently, polyimide aerogels have been developed by NASA s Glenn Research...
