The microemulsion method involves the following steps:
Preparation of Microemulsion: A mixture of oil, water, surfactant, and co-surfactant is prepared. The choice of these components depends on the desired properties of the nanoparticles. Formation of Nanoparticles: The reactants are added to the microemulsion system, where they diffuse into the nanometer-sized droplets. Reactions occur within these droplets, leading to the formation of nanoparticles. Separation and Purification: The formed nanoparticles are separated from the microemulsion, typically using methods like centrifugation or filtration, and then purified.
