Percolating microemulsions of nonionic surfactants probed by dielectric spectroscopy

Abstract

Charge exchange in aggregated micelles: Percolation phenomena in microemulsions of nonionic surfactants were studied by dielec. spectroscopy. For the studied 10-3 M KCl(aq.)/n-octane/C12E5 system the cond. and Cole-Cole parameter follow the predictions of the dynamic percolation theory, whereas the relaxation time and the dispersion amplitude of the characteristic relaxation are specific to the sample compn.
