Abstract: We study the static electric conductivity in water-in-oil microemulsion systems both in the droplet phase and in the vicinity of a percolation transition in the non-percolating region. We discuss the mechanisms of conduction in the two regimes. In particular, we interpret the behavior of conductivity far from percolation in terms of charge fluctuations and close to percolation in terms of collection of relaxation times connected to the presence of a polydisperse set of independent fractal clusters.
