Percolative behavior models based on artificial neural networks for electrical percolation of AOT microemulsions in the presence of crown ethers as additives

A series of models, based on artificial neural networks, of the percolative behaviour of AOT microemulsions in the presence of crown ethers as additives have been developed. Input variables, related to the chemical structure of crown ethers and their packing with surfactant film, have been selected. As a result, a model has been chosen with a good forecast capability for percolation threshold of such microemulsions.
