The state of water, the droplet size, and interdroplet exchange of reactants between colliding droplets have been investigated by NMR, time-resolved fluorescence quenching, and electrical conductivity in water-in-oil microemulsions made of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) in chloroform/isooctane (2/1, v/v). The effect of the two additives cetyl bromide (CB) and trimethylamine (TMA) on the properties of the droplets has also been investigated. No interdroplet exchange of reactants has been detected in the absence of additives.
