The exploration of gel microemulsions reveals their potential in applications where low viscosity is not ideal, such as targeted drug delivery. This PhD thesis by Michaela Laupheimer delves into the phase behavior and sol-gel transitions of microemulsions gelled with low molecular weight gelators, alongside their rheological properties. Utilizing techniques like self-diffusion NMR and small angle neutron scattering, the study clarifies the microstructure of these systems, demonstrating that gelled bicontinuous microemulsions form a unique self-assembled structure without mutual influence from coexisting phases.
