Migration of Surfactant Vesicles during spontaneous emulsification

POSTER

Abstract

In aqueous AOT solutions, micrometer sized vesicles appear above the critical micelle concentration. These vesicle move spontaneously towards an oil interface and form an emulsion under the condition of ultra low interfacial tension. We discuss the probable mechanisms that lead to the migration behavior of these vesicles.
