In this contribution we demonstrate that gelatin can jellify also water-in-oil microemulsions based on the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The partial stability diagram of the system CTAB + 1-pentanol + water + hexane + gelatin was determined. The resulting microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) were characterized by means of conductivity and pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR. For the first time the water self-diffusion coefficient was measured in gelatin MBGs, and the results were successfully analyzed in terms of diffusion in an interconnected network of aqueous channels.

Abstract

In this contribution we demonstrate that gelatin can jellify also water-in-oil microemulsions based on the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The partial stability diagram of the system CTAB + 1-pentanol + water + hexane + gelatin was determined. The resulting microemulsion-based gels (MBGs) were characterized by means of conductivity and pulsed gradient spin-echo NMR. For the first time the water self-diffusion coefficient was measured in gelatin MBGs, and the results were successfully analyzed in terms of diffusion in an interconnected network of aqueous channels.
