Effect of the inclusion of co-surfactants in the RM on the physical properties of Zol-Ca complexes synthesized. Shown are representative TEM micrographs of Zol-Ca complexes synthesized using RM with both surfactant (NP-5) and co-surfactants (i.e. OEP-10 and Hexanol, 2:1, v/v). To describe the component ratio in the RM, the surfactant and co-surfactants are expressed together as total surfactants. The Vtotal surfactants/Vcyclohexane ratio was fixed 30/70 and the VH2O/Vtotal surfactants ratio was set as 1/13.1 (A) or 1/1.5 (B). The VNP-5/VOEP-10 + Hexanol ratio was changed from 75/25 to 0/100. In A-2 and A-3, products with irregular shape are indicated by white arrows (bars = 100 nm).
