Microemulsion compositions include a blend of lecithin and a co-surfactant, and an acidifier. The compositions may further include salts of the acidifier, such as lactic acid or sodium lactate. The microemulsion may be used to produce a multi-functional agricultural adjuvant that is able to deliver an active ingredient such as a pesticide control, pH improve, wetting, and penetration of an agricultural chemical, control droplet size, function at extreme pH or salt concentration and/or other provide another functional benefit.

Microemulsions and uses thereof as delivery systems

Lecithin based microemulsion and their uses as nanoreactors and carrying materials are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of forming a nanomaterial comprises mixing a lecithin based microemulsion with a first reactant and a second reactant. In a further embodiment, a method for encapsulating a nanomaterial in a lecithin based microemulsion forming a composition and wherein the composition forms a dispersion in an aqueous solution, polar solution, or a non-polar solution.

Microemulsions and uses thereof as nanoreactors or delivery vehicles

The present invention relates to a method for thickening a hydrophobic liquid. When a hydrophobic liquid is thickened in accordance with the invention, the liquid becomes significantly denser. Preferably, the hydrophobic liquid becomes a gel.
