Abstract
Two applications of recent theories about microemulsions are presented. In the first part, the theoretical ideas are applied to birefringent microemulsions, leading to the first determination of the rigidity constant of the interfacial surfactant film and the demonstration of the role of the cosurfactant as decreasing this rigidity. In the second part, the structure of Winsor microemulsions is investigated by small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering, which leads to the demonstration of the existence of random bicontinuous microemulsions.
