The dynamics in dodecane/C10E5/water microemulsions determined by time resolved scattering techniques

Recently, an alternative approach to the determination of the bending elastic constants of the surfactant film in droplet microemulsions was developed, which is based on a combination of neutron spin-echo spectroscopy (NSE) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). In this work the approach will be applied to investigate another C10E5-based microemulsion containing the oil n-dodecane. The determined values for κ and κ compare well to values determined for the n-octane containing system. Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) data will also be presented and discussed1The neutron scattering experiments have been carried out at the “Laboratoire Léon Brillouin/Saclay-Laboratoire commun de CEA et CNRS”.1.
