Abstract

Solubilization of organic molecules in aqueous surfactant solutions has been actively investigated. Correlations for micelle-water partition coefficients have been developed using linear solvation free energy relationships. The solubilization of vesicles by surfactants and the accompanying structural transitions have been explored. The solubilization behavior of aggregates adsorbed on solid surfaces has been compared to that of micelles in solution. The factors that influence the solubilization of proteins into and their release from reverse micelles in nonpolar solvents have been investigated. The solubilization of hydrophobic molecules has been shown to induce shape transitions in block copolymer aggregates. The solubilization of metal salts by micelles has been made possible via novel lipophilic/metalophilic block copolymers.
