Single and Multiple Oxides

PARTICLES FROM MICROEMULSIONS 5.4.1. Single and Multiple Oxides... 

Herrig and Hempelmann [256] proposed a general single microemulsion scheme for the synthesis of various single and multiple oxides. In all such cases, microemulsions were first prepared by mixing cyclohexane (continuous phase), water (dispersed phase) and the surfactant Brij 30. This was then poured into an... 

An important drawback of the process (so far) is that the products are by and large only single and multiple oxides. Not much attempt is apparently on record on macroemulsion-assisted synthesis of sulfides or metals, so commonly achieved via microemulsions, or nitrides and oxynitrides as precursor powders for advanced ceramics.
