Abstract
Recent research on the role of the continuous phase in emulsions is reviewed. Special attention is given to the structured continuous phases such as lyotropic and thermotropic liquid crystals and gel networks. The implications in the formation, stability and properties of emulsions are discussed. Some recent applications, particularly in templating for the preparation of new materials, are also introduced.
