It was found that, in a suitable pressure range, ethylene could increase the amount of solubilized water in reverse micelles of sodium bis-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate (AOT) in longer chain n-alkanes considerably, where the phase separation was induced by a micelle-micelle interaction mechanism. The microenvironments in the ethylene-stabilized reverse micelles were investigated by the UV-vis adsorption spectra using methyl orange (MO) as a probe. The maximum absorption of MO decreased with the increase of ethylene pressure at constant W0 value. Conductivity measurements demonstrated that the percolation temperature of the reverse micellar system increased considerably after compressed ethylene was added. The results of this work confirm that some small-molecule gases have the function of cosurfactants to stabilize reverse micelles.
