Microemulsions are extensively used in advanced material and chemical processing. However, considerable amounts of surfactant are needed for their formulation, which is a drawback due to both economic and ecological reasons. Here, we describe the nanostructuration of recently discovered surfactant-free, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>)-based microemulsion-like systems in a water/organic-solvent/CO<sub>2</sub> pressurized ternary mixture. "Water-rich" nanodomains embedded into a "water-depleted" m ...[more]
