he photon correlation spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering is used for study the mixture of C₁₂E₅ microemulsion with PEG in order to determine structure and dynamic of the system. Photon correlation spectroscopy experiment showed an exponential relaxation for pure C₁₂E₅ microemulsion that come from Brownian motion of oil nano-droplets in water. The shape of the relaxation changed with increasing of PEG concentration in the C₁₂E₅ microemulsion, (relaxation becomes non-exponential with the increase of PEG), which demonstrates an increase of cooperatively in the C₁₂E₅ microemulsion. The SAXS experiment was used to study the structure of the system, and a model consists of a mixture of core-shell spheres with an Asakura-Oosawa interaction was applied to analyze data.
