Abstract
We have used electric induced birefringence to study the influence of strong attractive interactions between microemul-sion droplets. These interactions induce a clustering of droplets which we have quantitatively studied at low concentrations, where only dimers of droplets are present. The concentration and lifetime of these dimers have been obtained for various interaction strengths.
