title: Electrochemical elucidation of structural changes in physical organo bicontinuous microemulsion gel systems.
abstract: The structural changes in a bicontinuous microemulsion gel system in a sol-gel state were elucidated via determination of the apparent diffusion coefficients, which were estimated electrochemically. The temperature dependence of D(app) in the micro oil phase or the saline phase revealed complementary hysteresis, which occurred as a result of formation of a gel network and subsequent mesoscopic phase separation.
