abstract = {Balanced scCO(2)-microemulsions contain equal volumes of
water and CO2 and are a novel class of microemulsions of
substantial interest for both fundamental research and
technical applications. One existing feature of these
systems is that the solvent quality of scCO(2), and hence
the overall microemulsion properties, is tuned simply by
adjusting pressure, which is not possible with "classical"
microemulsions containing oil instead of CO2. Motivated by
this, we systematically investigated the phase behavior, the
microstructure, and the dynamics of balanced microemulsion
systems of the type H2O-CO2-Zonyl FSO 100/Zonyl FSN 100. In
systematic phase behavior studies, we found that upon
increasing pressure, CO2 and water are more efficiently
solubilized. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS)
experiments were conducted in order to determine the
topology and the length scales of the underlying
microstructure. The results obtained strongly suggest the
existence of bicontinuously structured microemulsions with
an adjustable characteristic length scale of up to 330
angstrom. From a quantitative analysis of the SANS data, we
found that at a fixed microemulsion composition the
stiffness of the surfactant membrane is increased solely by
increasing the pressure, whereby the renormalization
corrected (i.e. bare) bending rigidity kappa(0), SANS rises
from kappa(0,SANS) 0.88 k(B)T at 200 bar to 0.93 k(B)T at
300 bar. These findings were confirmed with high pressure
neutron spin echo experiments.},
