Abstract: The micro emulsion concept was introduced as early as 1940s by Hoar and Schulman who generated a clear single-phase solution by titrating a milky emulsion with hexanol. The term micro emulsion was first used by Jack H. Schulman, a professor of chemistry at Columbia University, in 1959. Alternative names for these systems are often used, such as transparent emulsion, swollen micelle, micellar solution, and solubilized oil. Micro emulsions are dispersed, macroscopically homogeneous, thermo-dynamically stable, optically transparent, single-phase systems, formed by the spontaneous solubilisation of two otherwise immiscible liquids, in the presence of surfactants. In some cases, short-chain alcohols or amines are added to the mixture as co surfactants. The micro emulsion is formed by the intimate dispersion of one liquid in the other, as droplets [1].
