The formation of copper nanoparticles in water-in-oil microemulsions in pseudo-ternary systems of cetyl trimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) surfactant, butanol co-surfactant, heptane as oil phase and aqueous solutions of CuSO4.5H2O, and NaBH4. The microemulsions were prepared with a fixed percentage (60 %) of oil phase and a variable water to tensoative proportion. It was observed an increase on Cu2+ reduction by the sodium borohydride in microemulsions with 13 % of aqueous phase, independent of the reaction time. For the microemulsions in which the aqueous phase is composed only by the CuSO4 solution, it was observed that the color of the solution depends on the water to surfactant ratio. These changes in color were attributed to a competition for the hidratation water between the polar head of the tensoative and Cu2+ ions with the eventual substitution of oxygen by bromine atoms in the first coordination shell of Cu2+ ions / Neste trabalho estudou-se aplica??o da espectroscopia de absor??o de raios x no estudo do comportamento dos ?ons Cu2+ em micelas inversas. Estudou-se a forma??o de nanopart?culas de cobre em microemuls?es ?gua-em-?leo de sistemas pseudo-tern?rios tensoativo (brometo de hexadeciltrimetilam?nio, CTAB)-cotensoativo (butanol) / fase oleosa (heptano) / fase aquosa (solu??es de CuSO4.5H2O, e NaBH4). As microemuls?es foram preparadas fixando em 60% a fase ?leo (Heptano) e variando 40% de fase aquosa com tensoativo/cotensoativo na mesma propor??o, sendo que a fase aquosa do agente redutor NaBH4 foi usada em excesso de 0,4 mol.L-1 e 0,8 mol.L-1 em rela??o 0,2 mol.L-1 de fase aquosa de CuSO4.5H2O. Observou-se uma maior redu??o dos ?ons Cu2+ pelo boridreto de s?dio em microemuls?es com 13% de ?gua, independente do tempo de rea??o. Para as microemuls?es em que a fase aquosa corresponde a solu??o de CuSO4, observou-se uma depend?ncia na colora??o em fun??o da rela??o entre as concentra??es de ?gua/tensoativo. Essa mudan?a de colora??o foi atribu?da a uma competi??o pelas mol?culas de ?guas entre a cabe?a polar do tensoativo e os ?ons Cu2+ com uma eventual substitui??o do oxig?nio da primeira esfera de coordena??o por bromo
