title: A narrow bicontinuous microemulsion domain in mixed polymeric silicone systems.
abstract: We have prepared a viscous bicontinuous microemulsion consisting of water / [20 wt% POE-GIS + 30 wt% PEPTME + 47.5 wt% POE/POP-PDMS + 2.5 wt% OA)] / DMPS system. A pseudoternary phase diagram was constructed for the mixture, and the bicontinuous microemulsion phase was characterized by means of rheometry and freeze-fracture transmission electron microscopy (FF-TEM).
