Quantitative determination of the percolation threshold in waterless microemulsions.

This paper presents and discusses the problem of quantitative determination of the percolation threshold on the basis of interactions within microemulsions. The model recently developed by J. Xu and G. Stell [J. Chem. Phys. 89, 1101 (1988)] was applied in the case of waterless microemulsions. The fit obtained is quantitatively highly satisfactory despite the approximation used to determine interactions from the cloud-point curve.
