Description

This book gives an up-to-date, comprehensive assessment of current knowledge in the very fast-moving field of reverse micelles, ranging from physical studies to biotechnological applications. Starting with physical and spectroscopic studies of reverse micelle structure at the macro- and microstructural levels, topics dealt with in detail are the NMR spectroscopy of reverse micelles, fluorescence quenching kinetics, photochemical behaviour, role and behaviour of hydrated electrons in reverse micelles, including femtosecond phenomena, reactivity-dependent applications such as microlatex formation, protein partitioning, extraction, and purification. The microreactor characteristics of reverse micelles are shown to allow formation of semiconductor clusters, peptide synthesis through enzyme-catalyzed reactions, reaction product extraction, and enhanced-reactivity phenomena. The reactivity effects and their consequences are particularly highlighted throughout the book. The book will interest researchers involved with micelles, microemulsions, colloids, liquid interfaces, photochemistry and biophotochemistry, polymer science, as well as specialists in physics and chemical physics of condensed matter.
