✦ Synopsis
We mimic the presence of proteins inside reverse micelles by an association potential. This potential shifts the percolation threshold which exists for empty micelles. The statistical mechanics of this system is solved using Wertheim's theory. In particular, the theory predicts that the shift of the percolation threshold which depends on the solvent may exhibit an absolute maximum value.
