✦ Synopsis

Outlines of complex ternary phase diagrams of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide/water/CHCl3, cetylpyridinium chloride/water/CHCl3, sodium bisethylhexyl sulfosuccinate/water/CHCl3, and octylphenoxy polyoxyethylene ether/water/CHCl3 systems have been presented. Enthalpies of solution of water-in-oil + amphiphile and oil-in-water + amphiphile media have been calorimetrically determined. Except for cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/water/CHCl3 system, all the systems have exhibited thermal inversion for water and oil dispersion near the phase separation point. The surfactant concentration at the inversion point bears a linear correlation with the concentration of the dispersed solvent. The thermodynamics of solubilization of the solvents in the form of microdroplets are presented. The measured heat capacities of all the systems agree very reasonably with the calculated values assuming ideal mixing behavior of the components.

The thermodynamics of microemulsions is treated by decomposing the Helmholtz free energy into a sum of a free energy F0 of a dispersion in a continuous medium containing fixed, noninteracting globules and a free energy DeltaF due to the entropy of dispersion of globules in the continuous medium and

Mixtures of water, oil, and surfactant often form microemulsions where tiny drops of oil (or water) are dispersed in a matrix of water (or oil). A microemulsion is a partially-ordered fluid in which the surfactant molecules exist in an oriented layer at the boundary between the continuous phase and

A predictive model to describe the thermodynamics of clathrate hydrate formation in anionic surfactant based w/o microemulsions is developed. The process of controlled hydrate formation leads to an in-situ manipulation of droplet size by crystallizing out part of the microaqueous phase. The feasibil

## Abstract The formation of a so‐called water/oil (W/O)‐microemulsion (AOT/isooctane/water) was followed by light scattering and ultracentrifuge measurements. With increasing weighed‐in water concentrations the microemulsion is stabilized by repeated aggregational processes of micelles containing
