Assessment of micro-polarity anisotropy as a function of surfactant packing in sodium dodecyl sulphonate–hexane reverse micelles

Abstract

The micro-polarity anisotropy behaviour across the aqueous phase of a SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphonate)–hexane reverse micelle (RM) relies on the SDS packing in the oil–water interfacial self-assembled surfactant structure of the RM.
