Digital image processing and analysis equipment is a prerequisite for           conductingvideomicroscopy studies of dynamic interfacial phenomena in           oil-water- surfactant systems; this project will acquire a digital              image processing and analysis system for improving image quality and            extracting quantitative information from the recorded images.  Dynamic          behavior accompanying contact of surfactant solutions with nonpolar and         slightly polar oils will be investigated using a novel vertical cell            technique which allows a clear view of the growth ofintermediate phases         and of spontaneous emulsification. These studies arepertinent to                understanding the mechanism of detergency and to various types of               nonequilibrium behavior which occur during enhanced oil recovery                processes.  Diffusion path theory will be extended and used to                  interpret the results.  A major effort will also be directed toward             investigating the dynamic behavior of emulsions, especially emulsion            breaking and inversion processes.
