Abstract

Oil-water microemulsions of the five components system water/soldium chloride/toluene/1-butanol/sodium dodecyl sulfate exhibit diffuseness (due to a turbidity gradient) for a very low surfactant content, 0.6 ÷ 0.006% w/w. The main characteristics of such microemulsions are described and the existence of nonuniformity is discussed.
