Chemical Reactions in Microemulsions: A Powerful Method to Obtain Ultrafine Particles

A simple and powerful method for obtaining ultrafine particles by means of chemical reactions in microemulsions is presented. The reaction takes place inside the nanodroplets of the microemulsion. The control of the size of the particles is achieved by varying the size of the droplets. Some applicat...
