    Notes: Abstract A new family of organogels is described. They originate from water-in-oil microemulsions, from which the name microemulsion gels or microemulsion-based gels is derived. Two different types of such gels are presented here, referred to asgelatine gels andlecithin gels, respectively. In the case of gelatine gels, the initial ternary system typically consists of isooctane, AOT (bis 2-ethylhexyl sodiumsuccinate) and water; gelation is induced by solubilization of gelatine in the water microphase above a critical concentration. In the case of lecithin gels no polymeric material is needed. Starting from a reverse micellar solution of lecithin (50–200 mM) in an organic solvent, gelation is induced by the addition of a small amount of water. The molar ratio of water to lecithin typically varies between 1 and 12 for the 50 different solvents investigated to date. These gels are isotropic, thermoreversible and optically transparent. For both microemulsion gels the influence of the concentration of the components on gelation is presented in the form of preliminary phase diagrams. The physico-chemical properties of these organogels were characterized using a variety of techniques such as NMR, DSC, dynamic shear viscosity measurements, and light scattering. Based on these measurements, preliminary models for the structure of these novel systems were developed. It is possible to co-solubilize a variety of reactive molecules in these gels. Therefore, it may be possible to use these organogels for a number of chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.

    Notes: Abstract A dramatic increase in the viscosity of reverse micellar solutions of lecithin in a variety of organic solvents of up to a factor of 106 upon the addition of a small amount of water can be observed. The formation of viscoelastic solutions can be explained by a water-induced aggregation of lecithin molecules into flexible cylindrical reverse micelles and the subsequent formation of a transient network of entangled micelles. The viscoelastic properties of these solutions are characterized as a function of water content and temperature for different organic solvents by means of dynamic shear viscosity measurements. The results are interpreted by making analogies to the behavior of semidilute polymer solutions and living polymers.
