Abstract

The effect of added cationic co-ions (Li+, Na+, Cs+, (CH3)(4)N+) on the dielectric spectra of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide / water / n-dodecane microemulsions is reported. At high water/surfactant mole ratios (W approximate to 100-120) small amounts of co-ions drastically change the shape of the dielectric spectra in the 5-500 MHz region whereas for W approximate to 20 almost no effect is observed. It is shown that the sensitivity of the dielectric spectra towards co-ion addition correlates with the percolation transition of the microemulsion structure from reverse micelles at high W to a bicontinuous phase at low W.
