A method for nonlinear fitting of x-ray scattering data from polydisperse mixtures was developed. It was applied to the analysis of the structural changes in the droplet phase of oil-rich water-in-oil (w/o) sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) microemulsions with increasing temperature or upon addition of salt. Data were collected at different temperatures (15 to 60 °C) and salt concentrations (up to 0.6% NaCl) within the one-phase region of the L2 phase (w/o microemulsion) for different droplet sizes (water/AOT molar ratio wo=25 to 56) and concentrations (droplet weight fraction cw=2% to 20%). This allowed us to distinguish between contributions from individual scattering particles, e.g., droplets and cylinders to the total scattering intensity. The complete data set containing over 500 scattering curves could be interpreted by fitting the scattering of weighted sums of AOT covered water droplets, long cylinders, and inverse AOT micelles containing bound water only, to the experimental scatterin...
