I. INTRODUCTION Surface active agents (aka surfactants, amphiphiles, detergents, etc.)
have been utilized for years in a variety of separation processes (Table I). Most of the earl ier …

Although micellar systems have been the object of seemingly innumerable studies, there is
no basic review of their uses and potential applications to the field of analytical chemistry …

Surfactants are amphiphilic mole-cules composed of a hydrophobic por-tion and a charged
or polar portion. The first encounter with these substances for most novice analysts is in an …

Almost thirty years ago the author began his studies in colloid chemistry at the laboratory of
Professor Ryohei Matuura of Kyushu University. His graduate thesis was on the elimination …

Molecules which possess both hydrophilic and hydrophobic structures may associate in
aqueous media to form dynamic aggregates commonly called micelles. Interest in these …

Cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants are characterized for their usefulness as micellar
mobile phases in reversed-phase chromatography. Conditions found previously to provide …

It is now twelve years since Solubilization by Surface-Active Agents appeared. Since the
publication of that monograph the subject has expanded rapidly as the unique potential of …

The effects of prototropic equilibria on the association of weak organic acids and bases with
micellar aggregates were In-vestigated theoretically and experimentally, and a model was …

Micellar mobile phases are shown to offer control over se-lectivity In liquid chromatography.
While retention of all so-lutes decreases with increasing surfactant concentration, the rate of …
