Formation, characterization and enzyme activity in water-in-hydrophobic ionic liquid microemulsion stabilized by mixed cationic/nonionic surfactants

- [C14mim]Br/Triton X-100/H2O/[Bmim]PF6 forms a large single phase region.
- A novel W/IL microemulsion with positively charged membrane was demonstrated.
- Laccase solubilized in the W/IL microemulsion is catalytically active.
- The laccase activity depends on the charge and composition of the membrane.
