The Structure of Microemulsions: Experiments

  • Chapter
Micelles, Membranes, Microemulsions, and Monolayers

Part of the book series: Partially Ordered Systems ((PARTIAL.ORDERED))

Abstract

Microemulsions were discovered about 40 years ago [1]. Since that time many experiments have been performed to determine their structures [2–16]. We aim in this chapter to discuss the main results in connection with the theoretical ideas to be presented in the following ones (see Chaps. 8 and 9). We pursue in particular a description of microemulsions as phases of flexible interfacial film of surfactant [7].
