Presents an examination of how micelles affect reaction mechanisms and reaction rates in organic and inorganic reactions. This work discusses the structural and chemical properties of micelles and the role of thermodynamics, concentration, and additives in forming micelles. It also explains the principles of kinetics used for data analysis.
Focused on kinetic, chemical, and physical aspects of micelle-mediated reactions, Micellar Catalysis presents various topics related to the effects of normal micelle, mixed normal micelles, and metallomicelles on reaction rates. It presents reaction mechanisms and up-to-date kinetic models for all types of micelle-catalyzed reactions, elucidating complex mechanisms that occur in biological reactions. It also covers the use of micelles in industrial processes and data analysis. This comprehensive source of reference is ideal for scientists involved in the research and development of micelles for industrial and biochemical applications. References for further study appear throughout the text.
"Providing unparalleled guidance on the whole subject, Micellar Catalysis is an essential source of reference for scientists involved in the research and development of micelles for industrial and biochemical applications. The book takes the readers through all the key points and skills that those with a passion for the field will need to ensure that they deliver their research projects and commitments in the field of micellar catalysis successfully."
