Supercritical carbon dioxide microemulsion stabilized with zwitterionic surfactant: A dissipative particle dynamics simulation study

•Supercritical carbon dioxide in water (C/W) microemulsion is successfully constructed by a zwitterionic surfactant (CAPB).•Dissipative particle dynamics simulation can provide information on the mesoscopic level by a larger time and space scale.•Ordered arrangements of surfactants determine the microemulsion stability.
