AI Article Synopsis
- Raman spectroscopy discovered water-rich and water-lean nanodomains in a pressurized "water-acetone-CO2" mixture.
- This mixture acts as a surfactant-free microemulsion, able to dissolve hydrophobic compounds like ibuprofen in high-water conditions.
- The results suggest potential advancements in confined reactions and material templating applications.
Article Abstract
The presence of water-rich and water-lean nanodomains in a transparent, pressurized "water-acetone-CO2" mixture was revealed by Raman spectroscopy. This nano-structured liquid can be classified as a surfactant-free microemulsion-like system and has the capacity to dissolve hydrophobic compounds, such as ibuprofen, in the presence of large amounts of water. This finding opens new opportunities in the fields of confined reactions and material templating.
