Other Mechanisms of Intermicellar Exchange

The magnitude of Ig is proportional to the fraction of micelles P(t) bearing a pair of fluorescent probe molecules and the decrease in P(t) due to the exchange probe molecule among micelles is given by Equation 1.28 

If one carries out exchange measurements with a probe that is completely insoluble in water, the exit proeess is almost stopped i.e., kr 0 and, under such conditions. Equation 1.29 reduces to Equation 1.30. The values of kj and kj for different probes and micelles have been obtained from Equation 1.30
