One evaluates the contributions of the surfactant interfacial film bending energy first to the attractive interactions between droplets in dilute microemulsions and second to the interfacial tensions in triphasic Winsor systems far from the critical points. (1) In a dilute water in oil microemulsion where the water droplet curvature (defined as positive) is slightly larger than the interfacial film's spontaneous curvature C0, a possible fluctuation at thermodynamic equilibrium is the fusion of two droplets in a dimer of low curvature energy. This process gives an attractive contribution to the droplet second virial coefficient which is in good agreement with certain experimental observations. (2) The interface between a microemulsion and an...
