Phase diagrams in which water was combined with sodium dodecyl sulfate, plus one of four nonionic surfactants, as well as an aliphatic oil, were determined by visual observation and low‐angle X‐ray diffractometry. The results agreed with earlier investigations on specially synthesized polyethyleneglycol alkyl ether surfactants, except that the extended water‐in‐oil microemulsion areas were not found with the commercial surfactants.
