TL;DR: In this article, the phase equlibrium diagram for the ternary system: Aerosol OT / water / iso-octane is established at 25 °C and it is noticed that the reversed micellar solution or microemulsion phase extends in its area so far as the water content reaches 50-60 (wt.%) at which liquid crystalline phase begins to appear.
Abstract: The phase equlibrium diagram for the ternary system: Aerosol OT / water / iso-octane is established at 25 °C. In this diagram it is noticed that the reversed micellar solution or microemulsion phase extends in its area so far as the water content reaches 50–60 (wt.%) at which liquid crystalline phase begins to appear. On the experimental data of electric conductivity, viscosity, optical birefringence, etc. for the samples containing a definite amount of AOT (0.28 M), and various relative amounts of water and iso-octane, the mechanism of the transition of reversed micellar structures into lamellar liquid crystalline structures is discussed from the viewpoint of thermodynamics and molecular kinetic theories.
