A CO2 - switchable microemulsion was fabricated by introducing low-cost commercial N,N-dimethyl-N-dodecyl amine into a sodium dodecyl sulphate-butanol-heptane solution. Upon alternate bubbling of CO2 and N-2, the system reversibly switched between a monophasic microemulsion and nearly complete phase separation, reflecting the disruption and re-formation of a thermodynamically stable microemulsion.
