“…Recently, theoretical studies on the structure of reversed micelles (w/o microemulsion at low water content) occluding small amounts of water and ions have been carried out (Faeder & Ladanyi, 2000;Bulavchenko et al, 2002;Abel et al, 2004;Pal et al, 2005). Experimentally, the effect of salts on the AOT w/o microemulsion have been studied intensively by using various spectroscopic methods such as infrared, dielectric, conductivity, luminescence, electron paramagnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance (Eastoe et al, 1992;Fioretto et al, 1999;Alvarez et al, 1999;Pitzalis et al, 2000;Burrows & Tapia, 2002).…”
