This project investigates microemulsions; the objective of the research         is to improve on the understanding of phase transitions,                        microstructures, bulk, and interfacial properties and interactions in           microemulsions.  Pure component systems containing non-tonic, ionic,            and zwitterionic surfactants will be investigated using a battery of            analytic tools.  Techniques to be used include dynamic light scattering         and electrochemical methods for diffusion coefficients and, hence,              aggregate size, average intensity measurements for the virial                   coefficients and radius of gyration, electrophoretic light scattering           for zeta potential in charge systems, and surface light scattering for          interfacial tensions.  These measurements will be complemented with             necessary phase behavior and analytical studies.  The effects of                composition, temperature, and pressure will be determined, and                  correlations will be developed to model the behavior.
