Abstract

The results of studies of micellar and self-associating polymer systems by spin probe ESR spectroscopy are summarized. The local dynamics and structures of low-molecular-weight micelles built of cationic surfactants bearing long alkyl chains (from C16 to C22), gels of hydrophobically modified polymers, polymer micelles, micellar complexes of nonionic surfactant (Brij58) with hydrogels based on polyacrylic acid, and associates formed in aqueous solutions of poly(diphenylenesulfophthalide) are discussed. Interest in these systems is caused by prospects of their practical use as carriers in drug delivery, in biotechnology, for the enhancement of oil production, and in other purposes.
