## Abstract Experimental investigations on the cosurfactant effect of alkali and tetraalkylammonium choleates in water/AOT/cyclohexane (W/O)‐microemulsions were carried out. The results prompted considerations on a thermodynamic and molecular level. The molecular view emphasizes the significance of

✦ Synopsis
We carried out an investigation on the influence of several alkylamines, frequently present in reactions carried out in microemulsions, on the properties of the water/AOT/isooctane system. The presence of alkylamines has an important effect on the electrical percolation phenomena. This effect of amines on the electrical percolation of microemulsions of AOT/isooctane/water can be explained by taking into account the ability of these substrates to associate with the AOT film in the microemulsion, the basicity of the amine, and the different solubility of the amine in the three pseudophases of the system.
