Abstract
The phase behavior of copper(II) bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, Cu(AOT)( 2)-isooctane-water, is determined over a wide domain. The system exhibits a n extraordinarily diverse range of phases. The microstructures have been ch aracterized by small-angle X-ray scattering, conductivity, and freeze fract ure electron microscopy. It is shown that elementary considerations that re quire only notions of local curvature and global packing constraints are su fficient to determine microstructure.
