abstract = {The effect of amphiphilic block copolymers on the phase
behaviour and structure of ternary microemulsions in water,
oil and non-ionic surfactant mixtures is reviewed. Recent
experiments have revealed that the addition of small amounts
of polyethylenepropylene-polyethyleneoxide block copolymer
to the ternary systems leads to a dramatic increase in the
volumes of oil and water solubilized into a bicontinuous
microemulsion for a given surfactant volume fraction. While
phase diagrams directly show the power of the amphiphilic
block copolymers as efficiency boosters, the theoretical
analysis in terms of bending energy discloses the mechanism
for the efficiency boosting as due to the variation of the
surfactant film curvature elasticity by tethered polymers in
the form of mushrooms at the interface. Neutron scattering
experiments employing a high-precision two-dimensional
contrast variation technique confirm this picture and
demonstrate that the polymer molecules uniformly decorate
the surfactant film.},
