Scattering from bicontinuous microemulsions

Small angle scattering from bicontinuous microemulsions... 

Figure 2.10 Experimental scattering data for a typical bicontinuous microemulsion. The data were described with the Teubner-Strey model. In addition, the Beaucage correction was used for high q values. (From Ref. [72], reprinted with permission of the American Chemical Society.)...

However, an unavoidable complication of this approach to forming microemulsion glasses is the trapping of compositional gradients during the dehydration process. This is evident sometimes in the SANS spectra of the microemulsion glasses, which do not always follow the Teubner-Strey type scattering from bicontinuous microemulsions. Such...
