Abstract

The formation of organized assemblies such as micelles, vesicles, and other bilayer systems is commonly attributed to hydrophobic effects which result in the organized media existing as a microheterogeneous phase separate from the bulk solution and consisting of discrete hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.** Although there has been controversy as to the distinctness of these regions and the site of various species solubilized in or interacting ...
