Copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using micro reactors made of bis (2-ethylhexyle) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water/n-Hexane microemulsions. The controls of particles size was achieved by varying water to surfactant molar ratio (W0). At constant of surfactant concentration the increases in value of W0increased the population of micelles and resulted in lager particle size. Their sizes and appearance were characterized by TEM, SEM, Zetasizer, uv-visible methods. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed the spherical morphology of as prepared CuO nanoparticles. The Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed 85 nm size of as prepared CuO particles.
