“…[9] and [10] simultaneously and therefore is purely algebraic, and the other is to introduce undetermined multipliers (25). We employ the latter because it has been reported that it offers distinct physical meanings to the undetermined multipliers (25 [11] where the superscript indicates that a quantity with is the surface excess one introduced in Eq.…”

“…[9], and then two of them should be eliminated because the Gibbs phase rule for a system with interfaces (14) fixes that the degree of freedom of this system is c ϩ 1. For this purpose, there are two equivalent but apparently different ways, both employing the Gibbs-Duhem equations per unit volume of the phases, 0 ϭ Ϫs ␦ dT ϩ dp…”

“…In experiments, the re-entrant phase separation is accompanied by a decrease in the interfacial tensions between the coexisting phases by three to five orders of magnitude [20,21]. Sottmann and Strey [19,22] have shown that the tension curves also exhibit universal scaling.…”

Self-assembly in soft-matter systems often results in the formation of locally cylindrical or chain-like structures. We review the theory of these systems whose large-scale structure and properties depend on whether the chains are finite, with end-caps or join to form junctions that result in networks. Physical examples discussed here include physical gels, wormlike micelles, dipolar fluids and microemulsions. In all these cases, the competition between endcaps and junctions results in an entropic phase separation into junction-rich and junction-poor phases, as recently observed by electron microscopy and seen in computer simulations. A simple model that accounts for these phenomena is reviewed. Extensions of these ideas can be applied to treat network formation and phase separation in a system of telechelic (hydrophobically tipped, hydrophilic) polymers and oil-in-water microemulsions, as observed in recent experiments.

“…This section is useful for determining the least amount of surfactant necessary to completely solubilize equal masses of oil and water [or the efficiency, denoted by (␥ ), and the average temperature (T ) of the three-phase body for a given oil (24)]. Therefore, comparisons can be made between the efficiency of different surfactants (or surfactant mixtures) for the same oil.…”
