Abstract
Dynamic light-scattering techniques have been employed to study the nature of phase transition in a single-phase microemulsion system near the cloud-point temperature. Critical opalescence and the critical slowing down of the composition fluctuations were observed near the transition temperature. It is further observed that there exists a close parallelism between the critical phenomena and the cloud-point transition in microemulsions.Keywords
