Abstract: A theoretical classification for microemulsion systems has been proposed and the broader area of non-aqueous and low dielectric systems for microemulsion study have been identified. The existence of non-aqueous microemulsions in low dielectric media has been demonstrated with ethanol/n-hexadecane model systems. The formation, confirmation, types, structures, and properties of such systems have been systematically investigated. Especially, the formation and structures of the interface created by the series of amphiphiles we found has been studied with monolayer, NMR, fluorescence probe and molecular mechanics computer modeling techniques. The knowledge obtained here can be used for the microemulsion study of other non-aqueous and low dielectric systems and applied to theoretical and practical problems.
