Abstract:

The conductivity behaviors of water-in-toluene-alkanol(heptanol, decanol) reverse microemulsions stabilized solely by sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate(AOT) with and without the additives(sodium chloride) were investigated through conductance measurements. The results showed that the percolation phenomenon was apparently inhibited by toluene in the water/AOT/decanol system, while no effect in the water/AOT/heptanol system. The conductance of water/AOT/heptanol/toulene and water/AOT/decanol/toulene systems had a hardly change in the present of sodium chloride.

Key words: alkanol, toluene, percolation, bis(ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, additives
