Initially, the CdSe QDs were coated with a silica shell using a modified reverse microemulsion method [35] to prevent direct contact of the CdSe QDs with the external solvents and to control the distance between the CdSe QDs and the CDs by adjusting the thickness of the silica shell [36].
Ruthenium-promoted cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized in a reverse microemulsion using a nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (Chem-Lab), n-hexane (C6H14, Chem-Lab) as the oil phase and 1-Butanol (C4H9OH, Merck) as the co-surfactant.
Ruthenium-promoted cobalt nanoparticles were synthesized in a reverse microemulsion using a nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 (Chem-Lab, Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, Leicestershire, UK), n-hexane [C6H14] (Chem-Lab) as the oil phase and 1-butanol [C4H9OH] (Merck) as the co-surfactant.
In this paper, methylene blue (MB -doped silica nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared in a reverse MB -dopedsilicananoparticlesNPsel matrix for biochemical application.
Trivalent silver polydiguanide complex nanocomposites were synthesized via oxidation of silver (I) followed by a reverse microemulsion complexation reaction using a polydiguanide, as shown in Fig. 4 [17].
The droplet phase of a reverse microemulsion formed by the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium ferrocyanide was used as a matrix to synthesize nanoparticles of nickel hexacyanoferrate by adding just a solution of NiCl2 to the microemulsion media.
Furthermore, using a modified form of the surfactant CTAB (CTAFeII), it was possible to introduce a metal complex ion directly into a reverse microemulsion system without adding a salt as a further component.
