Vanadyl isopropoxide can be polymerized in microemulsions of Aerosol OT containing water within reverse micelles. After a fast hydrolysis, vanadium pentaoxide forms ribbons in an intramicellar process taking about 100 s. These ribbons then aggregate by an intermicellar agglomeration taking 10 4 s. Drying these clusters in the presence of the surfactant leads to solids with surface areas around 100 m 2 /g.
