Evidence for polymer-like structures in the single phase region of a dodecane/C12E5/water microemulsion: a dynamic light scattering study

In this work temperature-dependent structural changes in a C12E5-based microemulsion containing the oil n-dodecane are investigated. Close to the upper phase boundary (haze point) the obtained dynamics become complex and do not correspond to a simple droplet micro-structure in the system. The dynamic light scattering data are interpreted within the framework of the Zimm description for internal dynamics of polymers.
