Hi, I'm not a scientist or engineer,, I'm actually an artist, with severely insufficient knowledge in chemistry . I also don't work for a big company that's funding my project, I'm paying for everything myself.
I trying to make a water in oil micro-emulsion at home that does no require any specialized lab equipment, or chemicals that are not easily available to the general public.
The micro-emulsion has an aqueous solution for the dispersed phase, which should be 20-25% of the total volume, It should form micelles 5-50nm and stable at temperatures up to 60c and when subjected to electrical fields. The continuous phase needs to be non conductive, and set to a gelatinous or solid state, either by cooling, UV curing, chemical reaction, etc, as long as it does not evaporate the water phase.What would be workable continuous phase and surfactants?
What would be the steps needed to make the emulsion?
Thanks
