Ionic Strength Effects of Electrolytes on Solubilized States of Water in AOT Reversed Micelles

l-Tryptophan transport through a hydrophobic liquid membrane using AOT micelles: Dynamics of the process as revealed by small angle X-ray scattering

“…It is important to point out that the solubilization of aqueous electrolytes in AOT reversed micelles is a function of the ionic strength [40]. In this report, the saline concentration was the same in all water-in-oil microemulsions.…”

Water solubilization capacity of mixed reverse micelles: Effect of surfactant component, the nature of the oil, and electrolyte concentration

“…The maximum in solubilization in mixed reverse micelles stabilized in Cy, IBB and Dc oils can be interpreted with the help of the model developed by Shah and co-workers [23][24][25], but it fails to account for the same observed for mixed blended systems stabilized in IPM oil.…”

“…The solubilization capacity of AOT/Dc/water system is governed by interdroplet interaction [23][24][25]. So any factor that increases the rigidity of the interface and decreases the interdroplet interaction will increase the solubilization, whereas factors that make the interface more fluid would decrease it.…”

“…[21,22] reported the solubilization behavior of anionic, AOT-and cationic, butyldodecyl dimethylammonium bromide (BDDAB)-based reverse micellar systems in different oils (cyclohexane, heptane, isooctane, dodecane, toluene, and chlorobenzene). Recently they [23] investigated the solubilization behavior and state of water in the water pool of an AOT/isooctane reverse micellar system in the presence of salts of different charge types. The results were interpreted in terms of salting-in and salting-out phenomena and counteracting effects of attractive intermicellar interaction and interfacial bending stress.…”

Humidity‐responsive polymeric films based on AOT‐water reverse microemulsions

“…16 In this state, the extra water hydrogen bonds with the hydrated head groups of the surfactant. Finally, when W > 12, the excess water builds up in the core of the micelles and is referred to as ''bulk water.''…”
