We evaluate the polarizability of a spheroidal droplet.We find that the polarizability anisotropy depends solely on the ellipsoidal shape fluctuation amplitudes Us,,,. Hence the correlation function ( uZO( 0) uZO( t) ) can be probed by the Kerr effect and depolarized light scattering. Possible appli

โฆ Synopsis
We have employed neutron spin-echo techniques to study the dynamics of the shape fluctuation of micromulsion droplets.
We found that the main driving force of these fluctuations is the bending energy and that the droplets become softer with the addition of alcohol as cosurfactant.

Polyacrylamide nanoparticles of different size (<100 nm) were prepared in reverse micelles under various dynamic conditions of micellar systems. The nanoparticles were always larger than the aqueous core in which they were formed; however, the size of the nanoparticles could be controlled if the int
