    Annotation This work reports preparation and characterization of biocompatible sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) / water/ isopropyl myristate (IPM) systems. We studied their ability to form various self-organized structures such as microemulsions and liquid crystal templates for producing nanoparticles such as drug delivery vehicles, which play an important role in delivery of various substances. We determined concentration and temperature conditions that allow for forming various structures in this system and characterized the structural phase transition from the microemulsion to liquid crystalline phase, which is important for delivery of bioactive compounds. The parameters of the liquid crystalline phase of the water/AOT/isopropyl myristate system were calculated for the first time in this work. The sizes of microemulsion droplets were determined. To describe molecular motions in the studied microemulsion, self-diffusion coefficients of each component were measured. The values of relative diffusion coefficients demonstrated that reverse microemulsions were observed at AOT concentrations up to 60 % wt. Further increase in surfactant concentration slows down their molecular mobility and results in formation of aggregates with a bimodal size distribution and a subsequent formation of the hexagonal liquid crystalline phase. Geometry of the mesophase and its structure were investigated by X-ray diffraction. The respective phase diagram was plotted and analyzed using the data of polarized light microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and NMR self-diffusion. In this diagram, the areas corresponding to the microemulsion, the liquid crystal phase, and the structural phase transition were identified. The study of the structural phase transition from the microemulsion to liquid crystal will offer a predictive power for characterizing incorporation of drugs and controlling their delivery to target cells. A deeper understanding of the structural changes is necessary to clearly determine the conditions of drug delivery
