Abstract
Contrast variation neutron small-angle scattering measurements have been made on microemulsions which, with the addition of salt, show transitions of the type Winsor I to Winsor III to Winsor II. The structure of the Winsor II and Winsor I phases are confirmed as being respectively, dispersions of water droplets in oil, and oil droplets in water. For the Winsor III phase, where the volume fractions of oil and water are comparable, experimental results are presented which constitute strong evidence in favour of an oil and water intercontiguous structure.
