3. Applications

Microemulsions as nanotemplates have engraved a prominent place despite the presence of innumerable methods for fabrication of NPs. Exploiting the microemulsion technique, distinct NPs, viz. metallic NPs, PNPs, QDs, MSN, SLNs, NLCs, etc., have been reported. The synthesized NPs have found applications in various fields like catalysis, delivery of drugs and diagnostics, sensing, etc. The recent trend of NPs derived from microemulsion method has been tabulated in Table 1.
