Abstract

In this work it was investigated the microemulsion formation using impedance spectroscopy analysis. The results indicated that the microemulsion formation is clearly observed on the impedance complex plane. The phase transition related with microemulsion formation is characterized by a time relaxation distribution. In the condition of the microemulsion formation, the impedance spectra are characterized by a single relaxation time.
