Abstract
The results of thermal and dielectric measurements on a w/dodecane and a w/hexadecane microemulsion with K-oleate and n-hexanol as surfactants are reported and discussed in terms of the presence in these systems of different forms of water. Hydration and dehydration processes of the polar groups of the surface active molecules are shown to occur in the two microemulsions for water contents ≃ 30%. Investigations of mixed monolayers featuring the bidimensional interface of the microemulsions support the interpretation that the above processes are linked to local properties of the water-oil interface of the microemulsions studied.
