Abstract
The phase behaviour and properties of a microemulsion system cyclohexa ne/CTAB/1-propanol/water have been studied at various temperatures bet ween 30 and 80 degrees C both in the presence and absence of PEG 400, PEC 400 does not have much effect on the properties of this microemuls ion system The conductance does not show percolation and a bicontinuou s structure of the single phase microemulsion is envisaged. Viscosity of the PEG 400 containing system is higher than those without PEG. Opt imal salinity values have been found to be independent of temperature and the values are determined by the individual ions rather than the e lectrolyte itself.
