  We show that the tendency towards microphase separation in microemulsions
leads to the formation of a glassy state after sufficiently strong correlations
between polar and hydrophobic regions have been established. Glassiness is
predicted to occur above a critical volume fraction of surfactant, which is
determined by the length of the amphiphilic molecules. Our results are obtained
by solving the dynamical equations for the correlation functions of the system
and by using a replica approach.
