This paper presents the estimation of phase inversion temperature (PIT) of a nonionic microemulsion by studying its interfacial tension (IFT) as a function of temperature. In this work, one-factor design (OFD), which is an approach of Design of Experiments (DOE), was used to model the variation of I...
