Solubilization ability

Microemulsions are potentially useful reaction media because of their solubilizing ability (Mackay, 1981). Reductions of ketones and enones by borohydride go readily in microemulsions of CTABr, hexane and 1-butanol, and there is more 1,4-reduction than in 2-propanol (Jaeger et ah, 1984). 

It could well be that many of the results of increased transport rates are determined by membrane damage, rather than by reversible physical effects when surfactants are used above their CMC. Studies on the solubilization of protein have in several cases demonstrated a remarkable parallel between solubilizing ability and membrane action (30). 

In terms of solubilization ability, Gadelle et al. (1995) showed that there were distinct differences between conventional surfactant micelles and polymeric surfactant micelles. Solubilization in block...

In the study of nonaqueous electrolytes, the ion-pair effect is a sevae factor affecting ion conduction. The degree of association of salts in nonaqueous solvents (or the solubilizing ability of the different solvents toward the salt) is often estimated by comparing the Walden product, that is, Arf. Justify this method and explain what hypothesis is included and how it holds. (Xu)...

The fluorocarbon solvent, known for its gas-solubilizing ability, is thought to increase the amount of available oxygen in the oxidation reaction. 

Extensive experimental work showed that a three-phase system with type III phase behavior was attained whenever a certain relationship, termed the correlation for optimum formulation, was satisfied. The term optimum came from the fact that this formulation was also associated with the lowest possible interfacial tension value in the scan, which led to the most reduction in capillary forces and maximum oil recovery. It is worth mentioning that type III sj tems are now recognized as corresponding to the bicontinuous microemulsions that exhibit the highest solubilization of oil and water per unit weight of amphiphile and thus also the optimum situation whenever the solubilizing ability is sought after, which is probably the most important application of microemulsions outside the petroleum industry. 

These surfactants are found to exhibit a solubilization ability higher than those of their purely anionic and nonionic counterparts. It is found that for such surfactants the transition temperature from a liquid crystal mesophase to a (disordered) microemulsion structure is inversely related to the amount of alcohol cosurfactant, a quite useful feature in... 

The synthesis of sodium decanesulfonate from the alkyl halide and Na2S03 can be carried out very conveniently in microemulsions based on nonionic surfactants [108]. The rate data fit a pseudophase model, and the nonionic surfactants make this method preparatively very useful because phase separation with a change of temperature allows recovery of the surfactants. This approach is very useful because surfactants have high molecular weights and large amounts are needed in preparative reactions and the solubilizing ability of surfactants complicates product isolation. Therefore, more research is needed... 

Although this particular polymer showed limited solubility, the approach could be easily adapted to include monomers with increased solubilizing ability. 

Microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography (MEEKC) is an electrophoretic method that can be classified as an extension of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) where the micelles are substimted by oil droplets. The high solubilizing ability of MEEKC allows the analysis of highly hydrophobic and aromatic polymer additives, such...
